Milner v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2007] NZACC 187
- Court
- District Court
Appeal allowed because the medical material relied on by ACC did not adequately address whether the appellant's underlying spinal condition was accident-related or the product of prior injuries or gradual process; Dr Reekie's opinion alone was insufficient to justify suspension under s117 and ACC failed to consider a realistic possibility that the degeneration might be accident-related, therefore the suspension/cancellation decision was not supported by the evidence.
