Exactly.
Look at the legal fee's paid by Mr Miller to gain his rightful entitlements and interest. Well over 120K
ACC paid Mr Millers legal fee's in order to settle his claim for interest so that the case did not go on and set further legal precedence.

/>... ACC fronted up for legal fees for their appeal and a bit more for the "waffle time" after high court decision...
Most of my legal costs has been "Legal Aid"... there is an amount (not large)not covered by costs by court order... as a lien on my property...
ACC made an offer... I asked for other monies not received, which increased the final amount heaps...6 figures.
Taking in the length of time it had taken and cost and the potential of more lengthy appeals and possible loss,
It was about as good as it was going to get...
I accepted... Health and injury issues dictated that decision.
The only issue left to argue was the start date ACC must pay from... = no point in another lengthy run around over the eventual amount of a few 100 $s...
Besides I have1 more big issue to sort out ...
another of ACC's not abiding by the legislation... that I am sure Of WINNING...
in or out of court...
Then theres the tax issue of having to pay huge amounts all in the 1 year ....
One thing at a time... Slow ... but its worked...
