Parrish v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance,Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 380
- Court
- District Court
Because the appellant received the additional award based on Mr Otto's 30% assessment and that award was paid within the transitional period before the statutory cut‑off, and because the 1992 Act's s147 prevents new lump sum claims based on deterioration after 1 April 1993, the retrospective assessment by Mr Martin could not create an entitlement to a further lump sum; therefore the Review Officer's decision is correct and the appeal is dismissed.
