Fulton v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 200
- Court
- District Court
The court accepted the Clinical Advisory Panel's analysis that the appellant's Charcot pathology was a progressive disease process related to longstanding diabetes and that the 5 August 2011 event at most rendered that disease symptomatic rather than being its cause; therefore the need for the contested surgery was not caused by a covered injury and ACC's refusal to fund was correct.
