- Citation
- [1996] NZACC 6
- Court
- District Court
The literal wording of s29(3) of the Accident Compensation Act 1982 must be applied so that the date of injury for industrial deafness is the deemed date specified; where that deemed date falls after repeal and within the transitional period it does not attract benefits under the 1982 Act and a purposive construction cannot be used to override clear statutory language.
