Beel v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2008] NZACC 252
- Court
- District Court
The appellant was an earner because, as sole director and operator of Chas. Beel Ltd, he was engaged in work carried out for the purposes of pecuniary gain (including work done in lieu of rent and existing invoices) immediately before his injury; actual cash receipt at that moment was not required, therefore the respondent's decision denying weekly compensation was quashed and a determination that the appellant was an earner substituted.
