Horne v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 323
- Court
- District Court
The appeal was dismissed because the medical and occupational evidence supported that the appellant had the capacity to perform 30+ hours per week as an automotive parts salesperson at the material time, the Corporation had made adequate and repeated efforts to provide comprehensive rehabilitation, and the appellant's refusal to engage in recommended rehabilitation did not negate the vocational independence finding; capacity in one job type is sufficient to uphold the decision.
