South Pacific Tyres Ltd v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 148
- Court
- District Court
The appellant bore the onus to prove that the pool 'scragging' incident or the motor vehicle accident broke the chain of causation; the appellant failed to discharge that onus because medical records and available evidence showed the motor vehicle injuries were transient and there was no evidence that the pool incident produced ongoing effects; therefore the Corporation correctly attributed ongoing costs to the appellant for experience rating and the appeal is dismissed.
