QBE Workable Limited v Accident Compensation Corporation

- [2002] NZACC 27
- Court
- District Court
The court held that while 'rest' does not encompass engaging in a boxing match, 'refreshment' includes recreational physical activities undertaken during a break to reinvigorate the employee; thus the injury sustained in the boxing match during the lunch break was a work-related personal injury under s32 and the appellant insurer is liable.
