Ives v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 48
- Court
- District Court
The appellant was not an earner at the time of the 31 July 1990 injury and the 1997 Chronic Pain Syndrome and depression were consequential to that 1990 injury rather than a new personal injury; under s37A of the 1992 Act eligibility to weekly compensation requires earner status at the time of injury, therefore the respondent's revocation was lawful and the appeal must be dismissed.
