Dickson-Johansen v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 314
- Court
- District Court
ACC had either effectively recorded cover for lumbar disc prolapse with radiculopathy on the ACC45 or, alternatively, failed to decide the additional cover claims within the statutory time under s56 so s58(1) produced a deemed decision that the appellant had cover; because cover existed and the incapacity was caused by that covered injury the appellant was entitled to weekly compensation and ACC's decision to decline was set aside.
