Ellis v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 172
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the medical evidence established that the appellant's present symptoms and incapacity are now wholly or substantially the result of a pre-existing degenerative condition, not the 16 October 1991 accident; therefore cover is excluded by s10 and the cessation under s73(1) was lawful, so the appeal is dismissed.
