O'Malley-Scott v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2009] NZACC 135
- Court
- District Court
The specified-assessor requirement on 8 August 2008 was not a reasonable requirement in the particular circumstances because the accredited employer/Aon did not adequately inform, listen to, or consider the appellant's concerns and failed to adopt reasonable administrative practice consistent with the Code and ACC best practice; therefore the suspension under s117(3) was unreasonable and entitlements must be restored from the date of declination.
