Foley v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 284
- Court
- District Court
There was insufficient evidence that the appellant was likely to achieve vocational independence because rehabilitation was incomplete (uncompleted work trials, unresolved mental health issues, unassessed effects of medication and inadequate reconciliation of pain management with sustained full‑time work), and the VIMCI failed to adequately explain or reconcile these limitations with its conclusion that the appellant could sustain 35+ hours per week; therefore the review and Corporation decisions were quashed/set aside.
