Clough v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 237
- Court
- District Court
On the evidence the ordinary tasks of a resource recovery supervisor did not include essential heavy lifting; the appellant was capable of performing the supervisory role (which was mainly administrative and supervisory) and had worked for an extended period post-injury and post-surgery without contemporaneous complaints; ACC therefore had credible and sufficient evidence to suspend weekly compensation and the appeal is dismissed.
