McIvor v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 70
- Court
- District Court
The District Court quashed the Corporation's decision because the occupational assessment overstated the appellant's transferable skills (notably computer competency) and there was insufficient reliable evidence that he could perform the identified sedentary, computer‑based jobs for 30+ hours per week; accordingly the vocational independence finding was unsupported and the review decision was wrong.
