GEC Alstrom Limited v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 111
- Court
- District Court
Given the contemporaneous claim form and GP diagnosis, corroboration by an orthopaedic report, and the employer's initial acceptance and payment of compensation, the respondent was correct to accept the injury as work-related and, following Nelson Marlborough precedent, the matter could not be reopened; appeal dismissed.
