White v Accident Compensation Corporation

- District Court
The $80 payment for peer‑tutoring at Whitireia was a token self‑employment receipt, not employment earnings; it ceased before incapacity and meets clause 36(3)(c), thereby activating clause 36(5). Exercising the clause 36(5) discretion consistently with legislative purpose, the correct divisor is 14 (the weeks actually worked for Radfords), so weekly compensation is calculated on Radfords earnings divided by 14 weeks.
