Bolli v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 75
- Court
- District Court
The court was bound by High Court and appellate authority (Vandy, Murray) that earnings‑based weekly compensation requires earner status at the time of injury and incapacity under the relevant provisions; a claimant who was not an earner at injury is limited to the potential earner regime under s105 and clause 47 and therefore the appellant is not entitled to weekly compensation for loss of earnings in this case; appeal dismissed.
