George v Accident Compensation Corporation (Cover Issues)
- Citation
- [2017] NZACC 61
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is dismissed because entitlements under the Accident Compensation scheme require cover for the injury and cover for the left leg varicose veins and major depression was not accepted until 2014–2015; there is no legal basis to backdate the 2015 33% WPI assessment to 2011 and clause 63(e) Schedule 1 AI Act means the reassessment takes effect from the next quarter following the 15 September 2015 decision.
