ACC's 65-year compensation cut-off survives age discrimination challenge
Original: ACC’s 65-year cut-off for compensation survives age discrimination challenge
New Zealand's Accident Compensation Corporation has successfully defended its policy of cutting off weekly compensation at age 65. A legal challenge argued the rule amounted to unlawful age discrimination, but the courts have upheld the long-standing boundary. The ruling preserves the existing entitlement framework for injured workers, while reigniting debate about whether retirees injured before 65 should continue receiving support.
Why now: The court ruling resolves a significant test of ACC's entitlement rules, affecting injured workers approaching retirement age.
