Woodward v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2008] NZACC 280
- Court
- District Court
The court found the work trial and medical case review requirements fell within s.72 and were reasonable; therefore ACC was entitled under s.117(3) to suspend weekly compensation for the appellant's unreasonable failures to attend; the fact an earlier suspension was quashed did not taint separate subsequent suspension decisions; the appellant did not establish a reasonable excuse, so suspensions were lawful and appeal must be dismissed.
