    [1994] NZACC 40
    Court
    District Court

    Because the appellant did not make the written election required by s147(2) before 1 April 1993 he is deemed under s147(3) to have elected an independence allowance and is therefore not entitled to lump sum compensation; the statute provides no discretion to award a lump sum in these circumstances.

    • Election for lump sum compensation
    • Deemed election to independence allowance
    • Transitional provisions
