Tracey Manufacturing Company Limited (Pilkington) v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 52
- Court
- District Court
Medical evidence established the worker's employment at least unmasked and contributed to her carpal tunnel syndrome; s7 requires only causation or contribution; the egg-shell skull principle applies; there was no finding of a knowing false representation under s7(6); therefore the review officer's determination that the injury was a work injury under s7 is upheld and the appeal is dismissed.
