S v Accident Compensation Corporation

- District Court
Regulation 4 prescribes the assessment tool as AMA Guides 4th Edition together with the ACC User Handbook and makes the Handbook prevail on conflict; the appointed assessor's 10% rating was peer-reviewed and the competing 45% opinion did not provide clear, cogent evidence of error or misapplication of the prescribed assessment tool, therefore the respondent's decision was correctly confirmed and the appeal must be dismissed.
