MARTIN v ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CORPORATION [2017] NZHC 957

Citation

[2017] NZHC 957
Court

High Court

Judge Powell erred in law by requiring the task and function analysis to be limited to the specific wording of the work type worksheet; the correct approach is the traditional evaluation of competing expert evidence; accordingly the appeal is allowed, the decision quashed and the matter remitted for rehearing.

AB and BC v CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT [2013] NZHC 1787 [16 July 2013]

Citation

[2013] NZHC 1787
Court

High Court

The Family Court's variation to quarterly two‑hour supervised contact was insufficiently justified because it failed to adequately consider the combined practical effects of joint access for seven children and the individual needs of each child and did not ensure appropriate psychological assessment; accordingly the High Court allowed the appeal and remitted the respondent's application to the Family Court for rehearing with the May 2012 order to remain in force pending rehearing.
