Stewart v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 241
- Court
- District Court
Clause 52(1)(b) does not apply because the appellant was not entitled to weekly compensation for 24 months or longer before reaching 65; entitlement requires current incapacity and earner status and ceased when he returned to work in May 2007; the correct application is to subclauses (6)–(8), so the appellant, having recommenced incapacity after age 65, is entitled to weekly compensation for up to 12 months from 25 March 2010 (subject to election and certification of continuing incapacity).
