Thomas v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 35
- Court
- District Court
The appeal was dismissed because the assessor permissibly postponed assessment pending the claimant's recovery and stability after wrist surgery and there was no evidential or legal basis to order retrospective staged assessments; moreover the appellant had not shown ACC unreasonably delayed and procedural requirements for lump sum claims were not satisfied, confining the appeal to the original assessment scope.
