Rive v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1996] NZACC 129
- Court
- District Court
The appellants were ordinarily resident in New Zealand because (1) their relationship with the Salvation Army constituted employment within the statutory definitions, (2) their remuneration (overseas allowances paid into New Zealand accounts and contractual/entitlement connections established in New Zealand) was properly characterised as income derived in New Zealand under the s243 tests, thereby satisfying r3(5), and (3) they intended to resume a place of abode in New Zealand; accordingly s9 covers their overseas injury and the appeal is allowed.
