154: Corporation's duty to make record available

You could also call this:

“ACC must share important documents when someone appeals a decision”

When someone appeals a decision, the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) has to do some important things. You need to know that the ACC must give the court clerk some documents. These documents include a copy of the decision that’s being appealed, a record of the review hearing, and all the documents and items related to the review. They also need to provide any notes made about the review hearing.

If you were allowed to be at the review hearing, you can ask the ACC for these documents too. The ACC must give them to you as soon as they can.
