Boulton v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 180
- Court
- District Court
The appellant is not entitled to weekly compensation because she was not an earner at the time of the personal injury and therefore cannot meet the s103(2) incapacity test and Schedule 1 eligibility requirements; ACC correctly declined to fund a TENS machine because available medical evidence and expert opinion did not establish that provision of the device was necessary and appropriate as a direct consequence of the covered injury.
