McCarthy v Accident Compensation Corporation (Medical Mishap)
- Citation
- [2018] NZACC 172
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the weight of expert medical evidence establishes that Sotos syndrome (a 5q35 deletion) wholly or substantially caused the appellant's neurodisability; the attempted ECV is not shown to have caused any of the neurodisability and therefore there is no cover for medical mishap under the Act.
