- [1997] NZACC 94
- Court
- District Court
The court upheld the Review Officer's finding that the evidence showed only a minimal risk from the proposed sedentary night duties, the appellant's subjective fear was insufficient to make refusal reasonable, and therefore the refusal to undertake the rehabilitation programme was objectively unreasonable and the appeal must be dismissed.
