Bing v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2012] NZACC 364
Court

District Court

The Corporation's s103 determination was invalid because it failed to investigate the appellant's actual pre-accident employment and failed to provide the assessor with the full relevant medical evidence, producing a materially flawed medical assessment; accordingly the review decision and the Corporation's determination were set aside and the matter remitted to the Corporation to re‑inquire and consider restoration of entitlements.

Hollier v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

Citation

[1999] NZACC 190
Court

District Court

Decision revoked and remitted because the respondent declined the application without adequate investigation or consideration, and the Review Officer erred in applying the three-year limit by including pre-amendment rehabilitation; a fresh decision is required considering suitability and cost-effectiveness of the course.
