Williams v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2009] NZACC 40
- Court
- District Court
On the facts and expert evidence the GP did not breach the standard of care: an isolated squint detectable only by cover test without other neurological signs did not require urgent paediatric admission and referral to ophthalmology was reasonable; theoretical masking by erythromycin was speculative and not established; appellant failed to prove medical error or causation on the balance of probabilities; appeal dismissed.
