Johnson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2009] NZACC 195
- Court
- District Court
The Court accepted contemporaneous and subsequent specialist and GP evidence as forming a sufficiently clear and unbroken picture of incapacity from disengagement and through April 2006; therefore the appellant satisfied clause 32(1)(b) and s103(2) and is entitled to weekly compensation from 4 April 2006. The respondent's declination for lack of information was quashed and compensation reinstated subject to statutory abatement and reimbursement to WINZ where applicable.
