- District Court
The court directed the appellant to file specific medical certificates for the additional injuries so ACC can obtain a revised whole person impairment assessment; the appeal is left on foot and a resumed hearing is scheduled in six months to allow reassessment to proceed and determine whether the 10% statutory threshold for an independence allowance is met, in which case the appeal will be rendered nugatory, or if not met the appellant retains review and appeal rights.
