Sir Arthur Owen Woodhouse (18 July 1916 – 15 April 2014) was a New Zealand jurist and chair of government commissions.
==Biography==
Woodhouse was born in Napier and completed an LL.B. at the University of Auckland in 1940. He served as a Lieutenant Commander in the Royal New Zealand Naval Volunteer Reserve during World War II on motor torpedo boats and was a liaison officer with the Yugoslav Partisan in 1943. Two years later, he was serving at the British Embassy in Belgrade as assistant to the Naval Attaché. He received the Distinguished Service Cross in 1944 for naval operations in the Adriatic.
Woodhouse was appointed a Judge of the New Zealand Supreme Court in 1961, and then the New Zealand Court of Appeal in 1974. The same year, he became a Privy Counsellor on the Judicial Committee. He was President of the Court of Appeal from 1981 until his retirement in 1986, after which he was appointed President of the Law Commission until 1991.〔〔
Woodhouse was the Chairman of the Royal Commission on Accident Compensation from 1966 to 1967, which produced the Woodhouse Report that recommended a “no-fault” accident compensation scheme. The scheme, known as ACC after its controlling entity, the Accident Compensation Commission (later Corporation), came into effect in April 1974. He was commissioned in 1974 by the Australian Government, the result being the Report of the National Committee of Inquiry, "Compensation and Rehabilitation in Australia", now known as the Australian Woodhouse Report. In 1988, he prepared a third report, "Personal Injury: Prevention and Recovery", which recommended an end to the disparities between the treatment of accident victims and those incapacitated by sickness or disease.
