Waitomo Media Ltd v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 268
- Court
- District Court
The court accepted the uncontested medical evidence that the redesigned workstation and frequent reaching caused the claimant's gradual injury and that the statutory criteria of s7(1)(a)-(c) were satisfied; because the Act is a no-fault scheme contributory factors or the claimant's manner of performing tasks do not negate entitlement, so the Corporation was correct to accept the claim.
