Velk v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 271
- Court
- District Court
The occupational assessment failed to take into account the claimant's pre-incapacity earnings as mandated by Clause 25(1A) in force at the time of assessment, rendering the occupational assessment and the subsequent decision legally flawed; therefore the Review Decision as modified is quashed and weekly compensation must be restored.
