Potene v Accident Compensation Corporation

- District Court
WorkAon's revocation was based on unreliable and now-discredited evidence that thoracic outlet syndrome (predicated on presumed cervical ribs) was the correct diagnosis and non-work-related; the MRI and subsequent specialist reports undermined that basis and left the evidence evenly balanced such that the revocation must be set aside and the review quashed.
