Teen v Accident Compensation Corporation and Telecom New Zealand Limited
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 139
- Court
- District Court
On the facts and the expert medical evidence the appellant did not suffer a 'personal injury' amounting to a 'physical injury'; the medical opinion favoured a myofascial/chronic pain/fibromyalgic disorder without a discrete physical lesion and any workplace contribution was non-physical and excluded by s7(4); accordingly there was no entitlement under the Act and no point of law arose for grant of leave to the High Court.
