P v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 36
- Court
- District Court
The assessor's 18 October 2013 WPI assessment of 10% stands because it complied with the statutory assessment regime and prescribed assessment tool; the sensitive claim was legally excluded from assessment by virtue of the independence allowance and clause 55D(3), and the chronic pain syndrome had not been accepted as a covered injury at the time of the assessment and therefore could not be taken into account.
