Fenton v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 250
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is allowed because the Corporation's investigation was perfunctory and incomplete on material causation issues; treating practitioners were not asked obvious questions about whether the described 23 December 2008 event could have caused the tear, so the primary decision declining cover is quashed and the Corporation must further investigate and issue a new primary decision.
