Kiwirail v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 133
- Court
- District Court
The Court preferred the orthopaedic surgeon's (Mr Swan) specialist interpretation of the imaging and his surgical experience, concluding the claimant suffered distal clavicle osteolysis caused by his employment tasks; the claimant satisfied s30 causation and the appellant failed to discharge the s30(2A) burden to show the risk was not significantly greater, therefore cover is payable.
