De Waal v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 350
- Court
- District Court
Where ACC sought to replace a clear, long‑standing specialist‑by‑specialist consent arrangement without meaningful negotiation or allowance for a run‑out, that peremptory implementation was disproportionate and unreasonable; the claimant's refusal in those circumstances was not objectively unreasonable and ACC's decision of 21 July 2009 to suspend entitlements was unlawful and set aside.
