Dewe v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2006] NZACC 290
- Court
- District Court
The Court held that AON, as agent for ACC, reasonably required the appellant's authority to obtain medical and other records under s115(1)(c); the appellant's refusal to provide that authority was unreasonable and therefore suspension of weekly compensation under s116(3) was lawful; the consent form did not seek authority beyond what IPP11 permits.
