Malesic v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 54
- Court
- District Court
Because the claim was first lodged after 1 July 2005 s34(5) requires it to be determined under the current Act as a treatment injury and application of s38(1) to the available records identifies 13 November 1997 as the date the appellant first sought treatment for symptoms; therefore the review decision is varied to record the date of treatment injury as 13 November 1997 and the suspension of weekly compensation remains correct because the appellant was not an earner on that date.
