(2) The Corporation may not recover any part of a payment in respect of entitlements that was paid as a result of an error not intentionally contributed to by the recipient if the recipient— (a) received the payment in good faith; and (b) has so altered his or her position in reliance on the validity of the payment that it would be inequitable to require repayment. (3) The Corporation may not recover payments to which section 65(2) (revision of deemed decisions) applies. Compare: 1998 No 114 s 372
