Martin v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 50
- Court
- District Court
The court accepted uncontested expert medical opinion (Mr Allan and the Corporate Medical Advisor) that the appellant's present incapacity is due to degenerative arthritic changes in the left carpometacarpal joint not attributable to the 1988 wrist injury; those degenerative changes are excluded by s.10 and therefore the Corporation's termination of weekly compensation under s.73 was correct as the appellant failed to prove causation on the balance of probabilities.
