Inwood v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2002] NZACC 43
- Court
- District Court
Dr Marshall’s medical assessment failed to comply with s100 because it did not set out reasons tying clinical findings to the physical requirements of each occupational option; where competing medical evidence exists the reasoned specialist opinion (Dr Burry) must prevail; accordingly the respondent’s determination that the appellant had capacity for work was revoked and weekly compensation restored.
