O'Neill v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 176
- Court
- District Court
The Court of Appeal's removal of cover for the medical misadventure means the appellant cannot be entitled to weekly compensation; alternatively, even if cover survived, the appellant was not an earner at the date of injury and therefore fails the s103 contemporaneity requirement established in Vandy and Murray, so weekly compensation is unavailable.
