Martin v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 59
- Court
- District Court
Omission to provide the IRP to the medical assessor was not fatal in the circumstances because the appellant failed to demonstrate a material consequence or prejudice undermining the integrity of the VIOA/VIMA; objective medical and occupational evidence consistently supported capacity for light work and the appellant's non‑cooperation and comorbidities explained rehabilitation shortcomings, therefore the VI determination was upheld and the appeal dismissed.
