    Nicholl v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2017] NZACC 19
    Court
    District Court

    The 26 June 2014 decision approving the Obus Forme seat was quashed because it was made prematurely before the trial was completed; the proper remedy is to remit for reassessment and a further trial (specifically a Recarro seat trial by the appellant's trusted occupational therapist). The July 2014 decision approving the aqua jogging belt was not overturned because the belt was subsequently provided and proved useful, so that appeal is dismissed.
