Traynor v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2006] NZACC 225
- Court
- District Court
The referral to Wakefield Back Institute did not implement clause 1(a) of the mediated IRP (which required an occupational therapist to formalise the appellant's home‑based cycling/walking programme and assess equipment needs); therefore ACC's requirement to attend Wakefield was not a term of the IRP, the suspension of weekly compensation under s117(3)(c) was unlawful, and the respondent's decision to withhold entitlements was quashed and the status quo ante restored.
