Te Wake v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 314
- Court
- District Court
Clause 44 of Schedule 1 of the Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2001 does not disclose a clear intention to operate retrospectively; the appellant had no existing entitlement at the Act's commencement and earlier determinations under the 1998 Act stand, so the 2001 provision cannot be applied to her pre-commencement incapacity; appeal dismissed.
