Salmon v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 163
- Court
- District Court
The appellant failed to establish on the balance of probabilities that the alleged incident on 22 April 2003 was the substantial cause of her current symptoms; equivocal contemporaneous GP notes, delayed reporting, inconsistent histories and the reviewer’s adverse credibility findings, taken with medical evidence that admitted pre‑existing degenerative change but could not conclusively link causation to the incident, require dismissal of the appeal.
