Egerton v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2000] NZACC 225
- Court
- District Court
Section 4 confines "personal injury" to injury to the living body; the 1992 Act and its regulations contain no express provision authorising payment for repair or replacement of damaged artificial aids including dentures, and the specific regulatory regime that formerly permitted such payments was repealed; therefore replacement costs for dentures are not payable under the 1992 Act and appeal must be dismissed.
