Kanara v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2005] NZACC 99
- Court
- District Court
Although the claimant's injuries created some additional need, ordinary household items (bed, fridge, washing machine) are not 'of a type normally provided by a rehabilitation provider' under s81(4)(c)(iv) and therefore do not meet the statutory prerequisites for ACC liability; accordingly the appeal is dismissed.
