PPCS Limited (Silver Fern Farms Ltd) v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 55
- Court
- District Court
Section 28(1)(a) requires only that the personal injury by accident be suffered while the claimant is at a place for the purposes of employment; ingestion of Naproxen at the workplace was an accident under s25(1)(ba) and therefore a work-related personal injury, and consequences from treatment are included under s28(5); accordingly ACC's decision accepting cover was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
