Accident Compensation Corporation v SS
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 317
- Court
- District Court
Section 36 (and s21A where applicable) fixes the deemed date of injury as the date of first treatment for the relevant mental injury; entitlement to weekly compensation requires earner status at that deemed date. Because the claimant was not an earner on 21 September 1992 (the deemed date), she was not entitled to weekly compensation and the Reviewer's contrary finding was wrong; the Corporation's decision is therefore confirmed.
