Baillie v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 68
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the medical evidence available as at 14 May 2009 established that the appellant's ongoing symptoms were due to a pre-existing generalized degenerative lumbar condition unrelated to the 12 October 2008 accident; ACC therefore had a sufficient basis to be 'not satisfied' under s117 and lawfully suspended entitlements, so the appeal is dismissed.
