Alsig v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2001] NZACC 54
- Court
- District Court
The Court held the work capacity certification that the appellant could work as a fitness instructor was invalid: the medical assessment failed to comply with s100(2) of the 1998 Act and, on the facts, the occupational/medical assessments produced a demonstrable and material flaw (manifest absurdity) by certifying suitability inconsistent with the appellant's extensive non-covered medical conditions; accordingly the respondent's decision was set aside.
