Ancell v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

- [1996] NZACC 52
- Court
- District Court
Section 54 of the 1992 Act unambiguously limits the commencement of the Independence Allowance to the later of 13 weeks after the injury or the date of assessment; therefore the respondent correctly refused to backdate the allowance beyond the statutory limits and the appeal is dismissed as to backdating; issues of quantum and fitness were not before the review officer and must be pursued by separate review or appeal.
