Jacobs v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2000] NZACC 252
- Court
- District Court
The appellant had completed the course of full‑time university study on 13 November 1999; the university vacation was not a continuation of that same course because the subsequent 13‑week professional course at a different institution was a distinct programme; therefore the appellant was not engaged in full‑time study when he applied and was a 'potential earner' entitled to weekly compensation from 13 November 1999 until commencement of the Legal Professional Studies in mid‑February 2000, at which point entitlement ceased (subject to re‑establishment of incapacity thereafter).
