On the balance of probabilities the need for surgery was not caused by the covered accident of 14 November 2010 but by a pre-existing degenerative chronic impingement process; impartial clinical advice (Medlicott and Ball), supported by imaging and history, established no causal link to the covered injury, so ACC's refusal to fund surgery was correct.
