Rowe v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 147
- Court
- District Court
Judge preferred the medical evidence (Mr Hopkins, Dr Dryson and others) that there is no demonstrable ongoing physical injury causally connected to the 1988 fall and that the appellant’s present symptoms are attributable to chronic/functional pain behaviour rather than injury; therefore appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that his current incapacity is substantially caused by the 1988 accident and suspension of entitlements was lawful.
