Sandford and Hay Building Supplies Limited v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 230
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is allowed because the respondent failed to establish s.7(1)(a) and s.7(1)(c): the medical opinion accepted by the review officer lacked an adequate factual foundation and the respondent made no workplace assessment despite a clear dispute about the nature and extent of the claimant's work duties; consequently the review officer's decision that the injury was work‑related is revoked.
