Parata v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2009] NZACC 182
- Court
- District Court
The court held that ACC did not breach s110(3)(b) because the proposed diving instructor training was only a speculative opportunity, no completed application or enforceable entitlement remained as of the decision date, the applicant had signed off his Individual Rehabilitation Plan on 27 November 2007, and prior occupational and medical assessments established sufficient transferable skills and medical sustainability for several work-types, so ACC had provided the rehabilitation it was liable to and was entitled to proceed with vocational independence assessment; the appeal was dismissed.
