Mitchell and others v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 89
- Court
- District Court
The deceased had a source deduction payment (net $333.14) for work done immediately before death and thus had earnings as an employee; the verbal arrangement with MidCentral Health, supported by correspondence and witness evidence, established a sufficiently structured and indefinite employment relationship such that it met the statutory test of permanency (would have continued for more than 12 months), entitling the appellant to aggregated weekly compensation under clause 41; the appeal is allowed.
