- Court
- District Court
The Court held the Corporation did not have information in its possession sufficient to be satisfied under s73(1) that the appellant was no longer entitled to compensation; medical evidence demonstrated continuing incapacity and there was no evidence of earnings triggering abatement, therefore cancellation under s73(1) was unlawful and must be revoked; s73(1) cannot be used as punishment for non-compliance which is addressed by s73(2).
