Kneebone v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 205
- Court
- District Court
The Corporation bears the onus to prove on the balance of probabilities that the claimant intended to remain absent from New Zealand for more than six months at the date of the accident; the evidence did not establish such an intention because plans were to reassess return by Christmas 2012 and therefore s17(2) exclusion did not apply; s17(4) does not extend to students, so no broader implication was warranted.
