Wilkins v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

- Court
- District Court
The Court held that the appellant's loss of earning capacity commenced before he ceased working in July 1991 and therefore he met the s59/s138 entitlement requirements; delays in diagnosis and the fact he received unemployment benefit did not defeat a finding that incapacity existed while he was an earner.
