Churton-Hughes v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 239
- Court
- District Court
The Court upheld the respondent's cancellation of Home Help because the comprehensive FCE objectively demonstrated inconsistency between the appellant's reported symptoms and observed impairment, justifying the exercise of discretion to cancel; referral back to the Home Help Assessor was unnecessary and the contrary doctor reports were less persuasive.
