Williams v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1996] NZACC 17
- Court
- District Court
The C15 medical certificate was not a written election under s.147(2); s.156(2) does not authorise the Corporation to make payments that would contradict the clear statutory requirements of s.147; therefore the appellant is deemed by s.147(3) to have elected an independence allowance and is not entitled to lump sum compensation, so the appeal fails.
