Davies v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 376
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the evidence established that the bilateral inguinal hernia existed before the 31 May 2003 lift and that the lift merely produced a protrusion and symptoms; because the condition was substantially the result of a pre‑existing/gradual process it did not constitute an injury by accident under the Act and ACC cover was not established.
