Shann v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 124
- Court
- District Court
Bending over to inspect a tyre caused an internal strain related to pre-existing degenerative disc disease and did not involve application of an external force or sudden movement to avoid external force as required by s.25(1)(a)(i); therefore no "accident" occurred and ACC cover was correctly declined.
