Jacka v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 222
- Court
- District Court
On the evidence available at the relevant time (including Dr Heynen's targeted examination) the review officer was entitled to rely on the specialist medical opinion and to uphold cancellation when the appellant declined re-examination, and Dr Perry's report did not address capacity to perform the specified household tasks and thus did not undermine Heynen's conclusion, so the cancellation was valid.
