Young v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 263
- Court
- District Court
The reviewer and ACC proceeded on a wrong legal basis by treating the matter as a wages/assignment issue and failing to assess Benjamin under the social rehabilitation provisions; appeal is allowed, the prior decision is set aside and the matter is remitted for a fresh review including assessment under s84 (or other relevant provision), with clarification that no claim for the mother's loss of wages is being made.
