New Zealand Case Law

S 103(2) incapacity assessment

    CROTHERS v ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CORPORATION [2017] NZHC 1952

    Citation
    [2017] NZHC 1952
    Court
    High Court

    Leave to appeal refused because no question of law was shown to be both seriously arguable and likely to be material to the outcome: the High Court did not demonstrably substitute untenable factual findings for the District Court and the legal issue about applying a reasonable adaptation test to self‑employed claimants would not change the outcome on the facts found; public importance did not outweigh mootness and finality concerns.
