Williams v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2006] NZACC 46
- Court
- District Court
The Reviewer’s confirmation of contracted provider rates was correct on the evidence before the court and AI 585/04 is dismissed; however the 5 January 2005 allocation of attendant care hours was set aside because ACC relied on an assessment that failed to address a crucial consideration (practical rostering to meet Level 2 needs), therefore the prior arrangement of 12 hours at the Level 2 rate remains effective until an adequate reassessment; ACC must calculate back payments and claimant is entitled to reasonable disbursements.
