When was acc established

Such a system does not apply in any other legal area administered by a government authority and is hard to justify in the ACC scheme. ACC is a Crown entity for the purposes of s 7 of the Crown Entities Act which relates to capital expenditure under a specified Vote and a Local Authority for the purposes of s 73 of the Public Finance Act which relates to the imposition of fines and penalties.

Those levies do not belong to the ACC or the government and can only be expended in accordance with s 3 to meet the costs of entitlements, administering the accounts and audits and assessments referred to in s risk assessment adjustments and other expenditure authorised by the Act. Those reserves are, no doubt, very attractive to the government to help balance the budget but they are protected by statute and cannot be used for purposes outside the Accident Compensation Act.

The Woodhouse Report examined a number of alternative methods for funding the scheme and made recommendations which no government has ever followed or even considered. Adoption of any of the alternatives offered by Woodhouse would result in a substantial reduction in current administrative costs to the ACC and a significant reduction in levies payable. While there have been a number of reviews of the ACC over the years, there has never been a review of the fundamental principles of the scheme or the means of funding it as a statutory legal system and part of the fabric of New Zealand law.

Mr Rennie has been involved in ACC since the days of its establishment and was a special consultant to the three commissioners who set up the ACC, established by the legislation. Amended law On 1 April the AC Amendment Act came into effect and established the Accident Compensation Corporation with a six-person Board of Directors and a Managing Director, none of whom required any form of legal qualification.

Accident compensation has a long history in New Zealand. It was one of the first of its kind in the world and would last, with some changes, until This was a compulsory insurance programme. It compensated people who were injured by motor vehicle accidents. Workers were getting frustrated. Its recommendations would form the foundation of ACC. The most important is obviously prevention. Next in importance is the obligation to rehabilitate the injured.

Thirdly, there is the duty to compensate them for their losses. Parliament passed the Accident Compensation Act with an undisputed vote. Based on the Woodhouse Report, the Act covered all injuries to employees and motor vehicle injuries. The new Labour Government passed an Amendment providing cover for people not already covered by the Act. They began operating in April Francis J. Anthony N. William L. Winters, Jr.
