- [1996] NZACC 68
- Court
- District Court
Section 138(1) preserves entitlement under section 59 of the 1982 Act and necessarily permits the use of sections 52 and 53 to calculate relevant earnings; moreover section 138(2) authorises adjustments to those preserved calculations when accurate information warrants recalculation. Accordingly the appellant was entitled to recalculate the respondent's earnings-related compensation and the review officer's finding that the appellant acted ultra vires was set aside.
