Cole-Baker v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 29
- Court
- District Court
The statutory defence in s 251 did not apply because there was no "error" in the sense of a miscalculation: the Corporation's interim calculation and subsequent adjustment were properly performed; the resulting confusion in communications did not convert the situation into an "error" that would prevent recovery, so the reviewer’s decision to require repayment stands.
