- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 174
- Court
- District Court
The court preferred and reconciled the expert evidence to conclude that the appellant's post-1974/pre-1995 injuries and treatments, including the circa-1982 meniscectomy, materially and substantially contributed to the development of his post-injury osteoarthritis, bringing the causal event within ACC coverage; accordingly the ACC decisions refusing reinstatement were set aside and entitlements resumed.
