Gouldstone v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2000] NZACC 41
- Court
- District Court
The review decision was quashed because the court requires the Corporation to investigate whether the 1997 injury is an exacerbation of a 1975 injury (which, if previously covered, would negate the applicability of s63) or alternatively to consider the 1997 claim on its merits under sections 7 or 8 of the 1992 Act; accordingly s63 should be set aside for the purposes of that inquiry and the matter remitted for further consideration.
