Osmond v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2015] NZACC 356
Court

District Court

Leave to appeal was refused because the District Court had correctly applied statutory tests (s110(3) and s77) and its determinations about completion of rehabilitation, occupational suitability and the adequacy of assessments were factual findings supported by evidence and therefore did not raise a question of law capable of bona fide and serious argument.

Martin v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2008] NZACC 270
Court

District Court

No material question of law was identified; the issue of vocational independence is a question of fact and the District Court judge correctly found, applying Ramsay, that there was no cogent evidence the medical and occupational assessments were flawed; accordingly leave to appeal was refused.
