- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 235
- Court
- District Court
The judge preferred the forthright, reasoned opinion of the treating orthopaedic surgeon over the CAP opinion and, applying the balance of probabilities and relevant authority, found the appellant's need for surgery was a direct result of the covered 2003 personal injury and was not wholly or substantially caused by a gradual process; appeal allowed.
