In 1974 the New Zealand Government enacted the Accident Compensation Act to make provision for the rehabilitation and compensation of persons who suffer personal injury by accident. It abolished actions for damages arising directly or indirectly out of personal injury by accident and death resulting therefrom. In 1992 this Act was replaced by the Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Act. This paper examines the problems which arose from the implementation of the first Act and the reasons for the latest Act.
1974年，新西兰政府颁布了《事故赔偿法》，为因意外事故而遭受人身伤害的人提供康复和赔偿。该法废除了因意外人身伤害及其导致的死亡而直接或间接产生的损害赔偿诉讼。1992年，该法被《事故康复与赔偿保险法》取代。本文探讨了第一部法律实施过程中出现的问题以及最新法律出台的原因。
