From: Joe
Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,
I am a NZ citizen. This is an OIA request specifically for ACC’s legal team.
This is a request for information for each year from the 2005/06 financial year to present.
Request 1: Number of District Court Appeals that were lodged by claimants.
Request 2: Number of District Court Appeals that were discontinued because ACC provided a non-monetary remedy to the claimant (e.g., ACC revoked their own decision and re-established entitlements or granted cover for a claim).
Request 3: Number of District Court Appeals that were discontinued because the claimant and ACC reached a financial settlement, with or without the addition of any other remedy.
Request 4: The number of District Court Appeals that were discontinued by the claimant, without any remedy provided by ACC.
Request 5: The number of District Court Appeals heard and decided.
Request 6: The number of District Court Appeals found in ACC’s favour.
Request 7: Of those found in ACC’s favour, the number of appeals where the claimant was:
(a) self-represented and not a lawyer; and
(b) self-represented and a lawyer; and
(c) represented by a lay-advocate (e.g., family or friend); and
(d) represented by an ACC funded advocate (e.g., ACC funded Navigation Service provider); and
(e) represented by a professional advocate not funded by ACC; and
(f) represented by a lawyer.
Request 8: The number of District Court Appeals found in the claimant’s favour.
Request 9: Of those found in the claimant’s favour, the number of appeals where the claimant was:
(a) self-represented and not a lawyer; and
(b) self-represented and a lawyer;
(c) represented by a lay-advocate (e.g., family or friend); and
(d) represented by an ACC funded advocate (e.g., ACC funded Navigation Service provider); and
(e) represented by a professional advocate not funded by ACC; and
(f) represented by a lawyer.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Joe
