Webforge (NZ) Ltd v Accident Compensation Corporation

- District Court
The respondent correctly classified the 9 May 1994 lumbar strain as a work injury because contemporaneous medical evidence and the employer's own acknowledgment established a work-related injury; the delayed formal written notice did not cause prejudice and did not invalidate the classification; issues of attribution of ongoing claim costs under experience rating are separate and not open on this appeal.
