The Court held ACC was entitled to decline weekly compensation under s117(3) because the appellant was aware of his rehabilitation obligations and the consequences of non‑compliance (telephone warnings and the 25 October warning letter), ACC was not required to obtain an explanation before declining where awareness and warning existed, and the appellant failed to seek reinstatement or give any explanation after cessation.
