Reti v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2014] NZACC 213
Court

District Court

The 28 September 2009 decision was procedurally unsafe and unclear as to which claim it addressed; accordingly the court quashed that decision, directed ACC to allocate a separate claim number to the 18 August 2005 right ankle and right finger injury and ordered ACC to re-evaluate any entitlement to loss of earnings under the August 2005 claim, noting the quashing is not determinative of the outcome and that there is no entitlement for the 1996/1999 accidents.

DELIU v NEW ZEALAND LAW SOCIETY SC 59/2012

Citation

SC 59/2012
Court

Supreme Court

Leave to appeal was refused because the impugned r 10.4 order was procedural and interlocutory, did not affect substantive rights, did not raise a matter of general or public importance, and there was no risk of miscarriage of justice; the Court of Appeal's standard costs order was appropriate under r 53A(a) and applicant had not sought any departure from the ordinary costs rule.
