Gerard v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 140
- Court
- District Court
Ms Ward's Integrated Assessment Report was materially flawed because she failed to complete key sections of the standard form, mischaracterised the appellant's prior hours as a temporary increase, and placed undue emphasis on perceived housekeeping preferences rather than objective need; because the respondent's 3 April 2013 decision rested on that flawed assessment the decision was unlawful and must be set aside, restoring the appellant's previous entitlement.
