Taylor v Accident Compensation Corporation

- [1999] NZACC 237
- Court
- District Court
The 1993 accident only precipitated or accelerated an inevitable degenerative process caused by childhood osteomyelitis and osteoarthritis; the substantial cause of the appellant's present disability is the pre-existing condition and not the original contusion, therefore cover is excluded under s10 and the cancellation of entitlements was correctly affirmed.
