Dixon v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2000] NZACC 142
- Court
- District Court
Section 71 of the 1982 Act was not preserved by the 1992 Act or by transitional provisions and the Accident Insurance Act 1998 contains no power to commute weekly compensation to a lump sum; therefore the Corporation lacks statutory authority to commute the appellant's weekly compensation and the appeal must be dismissed.
