MJR v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2010] NZACC 105
- Court
- District Court
Leave was granted because the appeal raises a serious and arguable question of law: whether the treatment in October 2002 met the s.36(1) test of "first receives treatment for that mental injury as that mental injury," specifically whether the words "as that mental injury" require the treating practitioner to have knowledge of the causal sexual‑abuse events; the issue warrants High Court determination.
