Crothers v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 383
- Court
- District Court
The legal question whether 'engage in employment' in s103(2) requires ability to perform all pre-injury tasks is a question of law warranting leave to appeal to the High Court; it is arguable that vocational rehabilitation which increases the tasks a claimant can perform may be within s85 and that the statutory test in s103 requires authoritative interpretation.
- Incapacity under s103
- Vocational rehabilitation under s85
