Accident Compensation Corporation v Hucklebridge
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 68
- Court
- District Court
The appeal was allowed because Dr Murray's VIMA was not shown to be flawed: it was consistent with the objective FCE and the occupational medicine opinion of Dr Antoniadis, and Dr Xiong's contrary opinion failed to address those important objective reports; on the balance of probabilities the claimant was vocationally independent and capable of working 30 hours per week, so the reviewer's decision reinstating weekly compensation was quashed.
