- Court
- District Court
On the facts the advocate acted reasonably in seeking disclosure and consultation about the proposed assessment methodology for a claimant with complex brain injury and somatoform features; given the risk of confirmation bias and lack of adequate dialogue ACC's insistence and threat to suspend entitlements was not reasonable in the circumstances, so the suspension under s117 was set aside and entitlements reinstated.
