Cade v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2007] NZACC 13
- Court
- District Court
The Court found the Corporation did not fail in its obligation under the IRP and had reasonable grounds to consider vocational independence likely; the claimant did not engage sufficiently to require further graduated work trials, the IRP did not obligate retraining sought by the claimant, and Dr Wright’s clinical judgment (that the claimant could work 35+ hours in specified light jobs) was not shown to be flawed—therefore the decision confirming vocational independence stands.
