Ives v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 293
- Court
- District Court
On the evidence, including contemporaneous medical and specialist reports, the appellant's mental injury, specifically chronic pain syndrome, arose between early August 1990 and February 1991 (in the immediate aftermath of the 31 July 1990 accident); the appellant did not commence employment until 18 April 1993; therefore she was not an earner when the personal (mental) injury occurred and is not entitled to weekly compensation, so the respondent's revocation of weekly compensation was correct.
