McDonald v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2003] NZACC 163
- Court
- District Court
The court accepted the weight of specialist medical evidence that the appellant's ongoing back pain is no longer causally connected to the 18 October 1994 accident, held that the appellant failed to discharge the onus on the balance of probabilities that the 1994 injury remains a substantial cause of his incapacity, and therefore upheld the respondent's lawful suspension of entitlements.
