Johns v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 79
- Court
- District Court
The appeal was remitted because the Corporation failed to undertake adequate inquiries—no workplace assessment, no specialist medical opinion or reports from the GP who treated the claimant—and therefore there was insufficient evidence to determine whether the statutory test in s7(1)(c) was met; a fresh decision must follow proper investigation and expert assessment.
