Morton's neuroma
  • 21 Mar 2012

    H v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2012] NZACC 89
    Court
    District Court

    The Court finds available medical evidence tends to show Morton's neuroma is a gradual biomechanical condition not demonstrably traumatic; the appellant's estoppel argument fails for lack of clear, convincing factual foundation; because the causation issue involves specialised medical matters the Court will appoint a medical assessor under s157 to review the materials and advise before final determination.
