(3) In revising a decision, the Corporation must apply the Act that applied at the time when the decision being revised was made. (4) The Corporation may revise a decision that, by operation of section 66(1) of the Accident Insurance Act 1998, it has accepted a claim. (5) However, if the Corporation issues a decision in reliance on subsection (4) , the Corporation may not recover from the claimant any payments made by it, in respect of the claim, before the date of the revision unless the claimant made statements or provided information that are, in the opinion of the Corporation, fraudulent or intentionally misleading. (6) A revision may— (a) amend the original decision; or (b) revoke the original decision and substitute a new decision. (7) Every amendment to a decision, and every substituted decision, is a fresh decision. (8) Part 5 applies to every fresh decision made under this section. Compare: 1998 No 114 s 452
