Dalton v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 225
- Court
- District Court
The 1992 Act and the Earnings Definitions Regulations require that a self-employed person's pre-incapacity earnings be calculated from taxable earned income in the preceding income year and exclude replacement labour costs and dumped production losses from 'earnings', so those losses are not compensable; accordingly the review officer's decision is correct and the appeal is dismissed.
