Brown v Accident Compensation Corporation

- [2016] NZACC 71
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the December 22, 2012 accident caused the appellant's L5/S1 disc herniation despite pre-existing degenerative change; MRI and surgical appearances were consistent with an acute herniation and, taking all evidence and delays into account, the weight of evidence required quashing the Corporation's decline of cover and setting aside the review decision.
