Nui v Accident Compensation Corporation (Funding for Surgery)
- Citation
- [2017] NZACC 41
- Court
- District Court
Appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the surgery treats a condition caused by the 27 January 2008 covered injury because contemporaneous x-ray imaging demonstrated medial degeneration predating the accident and the independent CAP medical opinion concluded no causal link; therefore ACC correctly declined to fund the surgery and the review decision was upheld.
