Blackie v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 154
- Court
- District Court
Because the appellant actually returned to and carried out his pre-injury employment as a scallop boat skipper during 28 July 1997 to 19 April 1998, he was not 'for the time being unable to engage in employment' under s37A(2) and therefore was not incapacitated for that period; retrospective medical opinions could not retrospectively create entitlement where the claimant had in fact engaged in the employment.
