    Tarr v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2014] NZACC 319
    Court
    District Court

    On the balance of probabilities the evidence did not establish that the appellant's major depression was causally linked to the 2010 physical injury because the weight of the medical evidence and history pointed to pre-existing vulnerability and multiple pre- and post-injury factors; however, the weight of medical and lay evidence established that the appellant continued to suffer post-concussion syndrome causally attributable to the 2010 injury and that this incapacity entitled him to reinstated entitlements.
