Hallett v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2007] NZACC 145
- Court
- District Court
Bowen Therapy does not meet the statutory criteria for "treatment" under Schedule 1 Part 1 because it is not a generally accepted, evidenced form of treatment for the injury and Bowen therapists are not treatment providers as defined by the Act; therefore ACC's refusal to fund Bowen Therapy was lawful and must be upheld.
