Matthews v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2001] NZACC 165
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is dismissed because the appellant failed to identify a pecuniary loss beyond ordinary parental duties; Mollgaard is distinguishable as it involved a welfare guardian under different regulations; the respondent properly exercised its discretion under s.80(2)(b) having regard to other compensation already paid (lost wages $50,500).
