Amalfitano v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1996] NZACC 44
- Court
- District Court
The transfusion-caused Hepatitis C is a separate 'medical mishap' and, because the claimant did not lodge a claim or make the s147 election by the relevant cut-off dates, the claim falls under the 1992 Act transitional provisions and is limited to an independence allowance; the review officer's decision is correct and the appeal is dismissed.
