Dispute resolution - Further appeals

164: Recovery of costs of appeals

You could also call this:

“ACC pays for appeal costs that others don't cover”

Each year, the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) must pay money to the Ministry of Justice. The ACC and the Ministry agree on how much this should be. This money covers two things:

  1. The reasonable costs of running appeals under this part of the law.
  2. The reasonable costs of judges’ salaries, fees, and allowances for these appeals.

This payment is only for costs that the people involved in the appeals don’t pay themselves.
