MacDonald v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 101
- Court
- District Court
The Court accepted the infectious disease specialist Dr Everts' opinion that the appellant developed post-leptospirosis chronic fatigue syndrome, found no comparable specialist contrary evidence, concluded causation was established on the balance of probabilities, and held the accredited employer's suspension under s117 was unjustified; therefore the review decision was quashed and entitlements must be restored from the date of suspension.
