Watson v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1995] NZACC 125
- Court
- District Court
Leave to file the appeal out of time was granted and the Review Officer's decision revoked because there was sufficient new or unconsidered evidence and legal error: the Review failed to properly enquire whether the appellant suffered a gradual process incapacity before ceasing employment and whether, applying the 1992 Act definitions (including s22 and s40), he is now entitled to earnings-related compensation and thus vocational rehabilitation; matter remitted to the Corporation for reconsideration on the available material.
