Accident Compensation Corporation v O'Mara
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 283
- Court
- District Court
The Court held the Reviewer's consideration of the attendant care levels was within jurisdiction because labels affected entitlement; ACC failed to provide adequate, intelligible reasons linking the Wilson Centre needs assessment to its division of Level 1 and Level 2 hours, rendering the decision unreasonable under s54; the Reviewer's quashing of ACC's decision and direction to reinstate the pre-12 April 2010 attendant care levels was correct and is confirmed; the appeal is dismissed.
