Kiwi Packaging Limited v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 272
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the claimant did not prove a work-origin personal injury under s.6 because of inconsistent accounts, delay in reporting, competing non-work explanations, and medical evidence that did not support a specific work incident; accordingly the review officer's decision attributing a s.6 injury and costs to the employer was revoked.
