James v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 31
- Court
- District Court
Because the deceased's injury and claim pre‑dated 1 July 1992 and a claim was lodged before 1 October 1992, s135(3) and s145(1) require entitlement to be determined under s65 of the 1982 Act and appeals governed by the 1982 Act appeal regime, so the District Court lacks jurisdiction and the appeal must be referred to the Accident Compensation Appeal Authority under s152 of the 1992 Act.
