Jensen v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1995] NZACC 6
- Court
- District Court
Under the Act's transitional provisions, while the appellant remains incapacitated and thus eligible for compensation, the calculation of ongoing weekly earnings‑related compensation is governed by the pre‑1992 Act rules as preserved by s.138(2) and s.59 of the Accident Compensation Act 1982; because the appellant's post‑accident income equalled or exceeded his relevant pre‑accident earnings no earnings‑related weekly compensation was payable, and the respondent correctly ceased payments.
