Govind v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 372
- Court
- District Court
Deemed acceptance under s66 entitles the claimant to have the claim accepted and assessed but does not itself satisfy statutory conditions for an independence allowance; because the clause 60 assessment here showed 0% whole-person impairment (below the 10% threshold in clause 58), no independence allowance is payable and the appeal is dismissed.
