McDonald v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2001] NZACC 288
- Court
- District Court
Medical evidence established that the appellant's present incapacity is caused by osteoarthritis (a disease) rather than the original knee injury; disease is excluded by s.10 and therefore entitlements could be lawfully ceased under s.73(1); Workers' Compensation acceleration principles do not apply to displace the statutory scheme.
