Estate of De La Haye v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2010] NZACC 33
- Court
- District Court
Expert evidence established that the 1997 ultrasound findings were unlikely to represent a malignant lesion requiring follow-up, there was no reliable evidence the malignancy existed or was detectable in 1997, and therefore any inadequacy in the 1997 report did not causally contribute to the loss of opportunity to treat; appeal dismissed.
