Khademnia v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 17
- Court
- District Court
The Court held that the conflict between a recent specialist spinal surgeon's opinion linking the 2007 incident to an annular tear and the Corporation's occupational medicine opinion that the condition was primarily degenerative created sufficient doubt such that the Corporation did not have the requisite basis under s17(1) to be satisfied the claimant was no longer entitled; consequently the review decision was quashed and entitlements restored from the date of suspension.
