- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 283
- Court
- District Court
Accepted expert assessments (Mr Titchener and Dr Harman) applying the AMA Guides established that the appellant's New Zealand work-related contribution equated to a 6% Whole Person Impairment; subsequent deterioration was found to be age-related and excluded from the work-related percentage, therefore WPI attributable to the covered injury was below the 10% threshold and no Independence Allowance was payable.
