Schofield v Accident Compensation Corporation

- District Court
The capacity-to-work assessment was set aside because the nominated occupations were presented as limited subcategories dependent on the quantity of keyboarding, so the medical assessment rested on qualifications that made the jobs not genuinely generic; the assessment was therefore flawed and both the primary and review decisions were set aside, with the retraining issue to be the subject of a fresh primary decision.
