Byres v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2007] NZACC 36
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of medical evidence there was insufficient objective contemporaneous proof that the 1997 accident was a significant cause of the appellant's current lumbar and cervical conditions; the probable cause is pre-existing degenerative disease which became symptomatic, so suspension of entitlements was correctly made and the appeal is dismissed.
