Fitzgerald v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 160
- Court
- District Court
The 2010 Regulations together with s61 apply to the appellant's 2011 replacement hearing aids claim; the independent expert evidence (Stegehuis and Manoharan) provided a lawful basis for apportionment of hearing loss to occupational and non-occupational causes; there is no residual right from earlier pre-regulatory acceptances to require full funding; the review decision to apply the Regulations and grant a contribution was not wrong and the appeal is dismissed.
