Ep 120 N8 24th May 2024 NZ Case Shows Hope for Vax Injured Workers

Once again a super interesting zoom! 



Liz steps us through a case which she recently came across while looking for other information, as is the way it happens! 



The case is https://www.justice.govt.nz/assets/2020-NZEmpC-46-JCE-v-The-CE-of-the-Department-of-Corrections-v2.pdf



This case is about a workplace injury and a breach of contract situation. This is very exciting for us due to the breach of contract situation has 6 years window for it to be filed. 



Liz was exploring framing within a PG in the context of remedies. These have to be from an Act/statute or common law. The above case was won in the ERA but his representatives said the ERA member didn’t separate out the PG from the Breach of Contract so there is more money owned to JCE the applicant. 

JCE suffered an assault in his workplace at Corrections and due to the nature of his injury and the deterioration of his employment relationship with his bosses, they retired him for medical reasons. This case is his journey to receiving the remedies he lawfully should receive

This is a super interesting case that gives us very useful case law for Vax injury as a workplace injury, the Acts and Statutes and remedies that could be used and applied.

Also highlights Accredited Employers setup and Accident Compensation Act
