Blacklaws v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2005] NZACC 195
- Court
- District Court
The District Court concluded on the balance of probabilities that the appellant’s left wrist condition was covered under the umbrella of the accepted left elbow extensor epicondylitis gradual process claim; prior acceptance and payments, medical evidence including specialist findings and the absence of a prior final determination on the wrist issue weighed in favour of coverage, so the appeal was allowed and costs awarded.
