Berkland v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 210
- Court
- District Court
Appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that her current symptoms are a result of the original 1993 injury; the weight of medical evidence (notably Mr Otto) established that pre-existing spondylolisthesis and ageing/disease are substantial causes of the present incapacity, so entitlement to weekly compensation ceases.
