Duffy v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 168
- Court
- District Court
The Court concluded the appropriate course is to consolidate and hear the two related appeals together; it recorded that the Clause 47 argument is no longer viable in light of Murray v ACC, leaving the question of potential earner status and assessment of potential loss (notably for ages 18–26 and possible future assessments) as the substantive issues to be resolved; accordingly the Court directed further submissions on Section 105 and listed the matters for joint hearing.
