Swain v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 281
- Court
- District Court
The VIMA failed to address the significant limitation of the claimant's inability to tolerate prolonged sitting for five of seven work types, rendering those five medically unsuitable; however two work types (admissions clerk and office cashier) did not require constant sitting and were both occupationally and medically suitable, therefore the claimant had vocational independence and the appeal was dismissed.
