Mills v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1994] NZACC 46
- Court
- District Court
Because claimant suffered injury before 1 July 1992 and lodged a claim before 1 October 1992, s.135(3) requires acceptability to be determined under the Accident Compensation Act 1982; s.63 of the 1982 Act applies to a student prevented from working during university vacations and therefore appellant is entitled to compensation for loss of potential earning capacity under s.63; however, pursuant to s.138 the assessment/quantum is to be calculated under ss.46 and 47 of the 1992 Act and the court did not make the monetary calculation.
