The Court held ACC was legally entitled to recommence vocational rehabilitation assessments and obtain a new IOA under s109(1) read with s88 where it acted reasonably; ACC reasonably initiated a limited further IOA targeted to sedentary work based on medical opinion and claimant circumstances, the IOA was not tainted by unlawful direction, and ACC's reassessment and decision to cease weekly compensation were upheld.
