Davis v Accident Compensation Corporation

- Court
- District Court
Medical evidence supported that further targeted vocational rehabilitation (work preparation, supervised exercise and pain management review) was likely to increase the appellant's work capacity; the IRP requirement to refer him to a Work Preparation Programme was reasonable; ACC lawfully exercised statutory power to deem the IRP accepted under Clause 9 Schedule 1 and the appellant must comply while retaining review rights; non-compliance may trigger s117 consequences.
