Beatty v Accident Compensation Corporation

- Court
- District Court
Under Schedule 1 clauses 10 and 11 of the Accident Insurance Act 1998 only earnings that qualify as 'earnings as an employee' (source deduction payments) can be aggregated for calculating weekly compensation for a non-permanent employee; self-employed earnings are excluded even if earned within the 52-week period and the divisor remains 52, therefore the insurer's calculation excluding Exmac income was correct.
