A senior clinician for the Accident Compensation Corporation has dropped legal action for defamation against a sexual abuse victim.© 2011 Radio New Zealand
Dr Peter Jansen had been suing the ACC claimant - known as Jax - for $250,000 over personal comments she made about him on a blog site.
An ACC investigation has found that Dr Jansen never accessed any personal information held by it regarding the woman. Peter Jansen says now an allegation of improper use of ACC information has been shown to be wrong, he's withdrawing legal action.
He says while he would prefer the woman to withdraw the statements on her blog and apologise, as a clinician he appreciates her recovery must take precedence.
The woman says Dr Jansen never had a case and she won't be apologising nor removing the comments.
ACC Minister Nick Smith says he welcomes the fact that the matter has been resolved.

"The woman says Dr Jansen never had a case and she won't be apologising nor removing the comments". LOL Why has he and Nick Smith not apologised for the f*#^ed up pathway that has failed and continues to fail claimants? Remember those recommendations from that Independant Review Report you ordered Nick? The ones you said would be implemented ASAP. CROOK OF SHIT that was.
ReplyDeleteIf he didn't know I was an ACC claimant and only knew me from my blog name "Jax" then pray do tell Jansen, how'd you get my real name to sue me?
