Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation v Te Awa

- Court
- District Court
The Court found the respondent's current symptoms are substantially caused by degenerative spinal changes and obesity rather than the 1990 rugby injury; accordingly s10 excludes cover for those symptoms and, because s37A requires incapacity to be by reason of the personal injury, the appellant discharged the onus and the Review Officer's decision reinstating entitlements was revoked.
