Morris v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 251
- Court
- District Court
The Court held ACC's decision to backdate the 2010 independence allowance only to the date of the 2010 application was correct because the 2000 assessment covered the pre‑2002 injuries, no certificate triggered a reassessment for independence allowance in 2005, and clause 63 of Schedule 1 limits the effective date of adjustments to claims to the date of application or the next quarterly payment.
