Green v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 317
- Court
- District Court
Having reconsidered all relevant evidence the Court preferred the assessments of Dr Newburn and Dr Black over the Corporation's medical assessor and found that as at 20 February 2007 Mr Green did not meet the statutory test of vocational independence (unable to sustain 35 hours per week); the Corporation's decision was therefore quashed and the appeal allowed.
