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
