Behenna v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 331
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the Court found the Great Wall twisting event caused an acute large lateral meniscal tear distinct from pre-existing degenerative change; therefore the surgery treated a covered personal injury and ACC's decisions (to decline funding and to revoke cover) were quashed and cover reinstated.
