Griffin v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 231
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of medical and vocational evidence the Court found insufficient proof that the claimant could safely perform forklift driving given repetitive push‑pull wrist demands, but sufficient evidence that he was capable of delivery driving in a light vehicle with the literacy and basic recording tasks demonstrated in work trials; therefore ACC's vocational independence decision was not set aside and the appeal was dismissed.
