Strathern v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 218
- Court
- District Court
ACC's decision was set aside because it proceeded on an incorrect legal premise (treating the pre-2005 three-year limit as absolute) and failed to consider or properly assess the statutory matters in s87(2B) (likelihood of achieving the individual rehabilitation plan, cost-effectiveness with regard to future entitlements, and appropriateness), rendering the decision manifestly wrong in law and requiring quashing and remittal for a fresh decision.
