Illustration for Accident Compensation Act 2001

When someone appeals a decision, the Registrar tells the Corporation right away. The Registrar asks the Corporation for some information. This information is about people who had the right to be at the review hearing, not including the person who is appealing. The Corporation needs to give the Registrar the names and contact details of these people. They have to do this within 7 days of being asked.
