Morland v Accident Compensation Corporation

- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant's ongoing right hip problems (trochanteric bursitis and related pathology) are causally connected to the 13 May 2002 work-related lumbar sprain; the respondent's decision to cease treatment for the greater trochanter was incorrect and the hip condition is not shown to be caused wholly or substantially by ageing, therefore cover extends to the hip pathology arising from that accident.
