Fell v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1994] NZACC 51
- Court
- District Court
Section 26 restricts the Corporation to providing only aids and appliances authorised by regulations; the Aids and Appliances Regulations 1992 do not authorise provision of an ordinary waterbed for this claimant (first schedule excludes ordinary beds; second schedule confines waterbeds to cases satisfying Reg 7(3) economic criteria which are not met or evidenced here); accordingly the Corporation lawfully declined to fund the waterbed and the appeal is dismissed.
