Lindsay v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 232
- Court
- District Court
The medical assessor (Dr Gollop) was a properly qualified assessor who complied with ss.99–100; the appellant failed to produce clear and cogent evidence showing the assessor’s opinion was wrong or procedurally flawed; therefore the reviewer and court must defer to the assessor’s determination and uphold ACC’s decision that the appellant had capacity for work and weekly compensation could be suspended.
