Fry v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 53
- Court
- District Court
The VIMA was materially flawed because the assessor failed to consider key contemporaneous documents (notably the detailed Whangarei Court work trial reports and the GP vocational independence questionnaire) and did not adequately address the appellant's pain and mental health, leading to an incorrect conclusion that the appellant could sustain 30 hours per week; accordingly the review decision and the GBNZ decision of 30 November 2011 were set aside.
