H v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 301
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is allowed and the decisions of the Corporation and Review Officer are quashed and remitted: treatment provided can be accepted retrospectively to satisfy s36(1); where physical injuries (including penetrative sexual abuse and skull/brain injury) may have occurred they can give rise to a s36(2) date and may contribute to mental injury; the facts require further inquiry by the Corporation to determine contribution of physical injuries and appropriate dates for earnings related compensation.
