Perring v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2006] NZACC 84
- Court
- District Court
Contemporaneous specialist medical evidence established that the appellant suffered a chronic generalized pain syndrome (fibromyalgia) predating and present at the time she sought cover; there was no reliable evidence of a discrete physical injury attributable to the 13 July 2002 work events as required by s26, therefore ACC correctly concluded the initial grant of cover was made in error and validly revoked it under s65(1).
