Little v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2010] NZACC 77
- Court
- District Court
Because the Court determined the appellant remained continuously incapacitated from March 1990, both arrears and ongoing weekly compensation must be calculated by reference to the appellant's pre-incapacity earnings as of January 1990; the subsequent 2003 earnings cannot be used as a new benchmark absent a legally separate period of regained capacity.
