M v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2006] NZACC 250
- Court
- District Court
Leave to appeal to the High Court is granted because the decision below raises significant questions of law concerning whether earlier statutes can provide cover absent a contemporaneous claim, whether the statutory deemed date of injury governs entitlement to potential earnings compensation, and whether forensic psychiatric assessments can constitute treatment for determining a deemed date of injury; the court frames those questions for determination on appeal.
