Fiske v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 283
- Court
- District Court
The appellant first became entitled to weekly compensation in respect of the relevant causative injury in 1998, which was more than 24 months before she turned 65; therefore clause 52(1)-(2) applies and her entitlement to weekly compensation ceased on reaching age 65. The Corporation's prior mistaken offer to allow continuation was beyond its statutory power and not binding.
