- Court
- District Court
The respondent's decision was quashed because it failed to properly exercise its discretion by not considering entitlement to 24-hour paid personal care including remuneration for the wife's night sleepover and by not taking adequate account of specialist advice (Burwood Spinal Clinic); the matter is remitted to ACC for fresh assessment expressly taking into account full 24-hour care and Burwood Clinic input, with any assessed sums backdated to July 1996.
