Bree v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1996] NZACC 115
- Court
- District Court
A myocardial infarction/cardiac arrest in these circumstances does not qualify as 'personal injury' or an 'accident' under the 1992 Act and is not a 'work injury' because the event was not caused by physical effort or strain as defined by s6(1); therefore ACC cover does not apply and the review officer's decision is confirmed.
