Franks v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 84
- Court
- District Court
The court accepted the respondent's specialist medical opinions that the cervical disc protrusions were more plausibly the product of multilevel degenerative change rendered symptomatic over time rather than traumatic disc injury from the 2010 accident; the appellant failed to meet the required threshold of proof under Ambros and therefore the review decision declining cover is upheld.
