Upu v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 121
- Court
- District Court
The appeal was allowed because a more recent qualified support needs assessment (22 September 2014) reliably demonstrated higher attendant care and home help needs and because there was insufficient evidential basis to impute a greater reasonable contribution from family members; therefore the review decision was quashed and ACC must implement the 20 hours 40 minutes per week allocation and review the rehabilitation plan under s79.
