Court

Court of Appeal

Section 149 applies only where the claimant had a rightful entitlement to receive compensation under s 80 of the 1982 Act as at 30 June 1992; because the appellant's entitlement to attendant care under s 80(3) depended on facts (needs assessment) ascertainable only after his discharge from hospital, he had no such entitlement as at that date and s 149 did not preserve s 80 for him.

Noswil Holdings Limited v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

Citation

[1996] NZACC 113
Court

District Court

Classification unit 22210 accurately describes the appellant's curtain manufacturing activity; the 1994 Regulations mandate applying the schedule description where it fits and do not permit reclassification to a lower premium based on asserted low risk or loss history, therefore the appellant's appeal is dismissed.
