Gronn v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2008] NZACC 284
- Court
- District Court
The Court preferred the recent and detailed orthopaedic opinion that long‑standing lumbar scoliosis with secondary disc degeneration was the predominant cause of the appellant's ongoing symptoms and that the 2000 injury contributed only minimally; the respondent met its initial onus and the appellant failed to show on balance continued entitlement, so suspension under s.117(1) was lawful and must be confirmed.
