Abstract

K.L. Sandford's paper discusses the New Zealand Accident Compensation Scheme, with the aim of reducing the misconceptions surrounding it for an Australian audience. The author encourages the adoption of a no-fault compensation scheme whether an accident occurs in the home, at work, or in a motor vehicle.
