Craig v Accident Compensation Corporation (Payment of Interest)
- Citation
- [2017] NZACC 128
- Court
- District Court
The Court found the pivotal medical evidence establishing causation was the report of Dr McBride received by ACC on 15 May 2014 and that interest under s114 should be calculated from a reasonable administrative period after that date; having regard to authority and recent decisions the Court set the interest commencement at 15 September 2014 (four months after 15 May 2014) and ordered interest accordingly, quashing the earlier ACC determination that had used a six month period.
