Henry v Accident Compensation Corporation

- Court
- District Court
The Court found Dr Turner departed from the generic work‑type description by treating driving as only occasionally required; given the appellant’s established inability to drive for sustained periods and his semi‑rural location making frequent driving likely, Dr Turner’s assessment was significantly flawed, so the finding of vocational independence could not be sustained and the primary decision was quashed and prior entitlements reinstated.
