Supreme Court should take ACC cases - Law Society

There are renewed calls for the country's highest court to hear ACC claims after a case of a botched sterilisation was thrown out by the Court of Appeal. The woman in question was sterilised in 1998 but became pregnant and gave birth in 2006, and has been fighting for weekly compensation for the cost of raising her child ever since. In a two-to-one decision, the Court of Appeal dismissed the woman's case, leaving her with few legal options as it cannot be appealed to the Supreme Court. As Sally Murphy reports, the Law Society says that's unfair and change is needed.
