Wilson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2005] NZACC 1
- Court
- District Court
Approved medical assessments established 15% whole person impairment; statutory deduction of the prior 25% lump sum produced a balance below the 10% threshold for an independence allowance; no competent expert evidence identified any flaw in the assessments and the non-use of an inclinometer did not invalidate the assessments; therefore the respondent’s decision to decline the independence allowance must be upheld.
