Wells v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 358
- Court
- District Court
The Court upheld the Reviewer and VIOA: the assessor reasonably matched the claimant's demonstrated computer aptitude and diverse work background to the approved clerical and light roles; the literacy report did not establish a barrier sufficient to overturn the assessor's qualified judgment; no equally qualified contrary opinion was produced, therefore the inclusion of Dispatch and Receiving Clerk, Stock Clerk and Warehouse Administrator was justified and the appeal must be dismissed.
