- [2008] NZACC 43
- Court
- District Court
Judge preferred the evidence of the LMC and Dr Craig over the appellant, found the appellant was informed of significant CTG deterioration at 1400 and again at 1540, concluded he failed to act with the required urgency thereby breaching the standard of care under s33 of the Act, and held the delay materially contributed to the infant's hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy; accordingly the appeal is dismissed and the respondent's decision granting cover is confirmed.
