Carroll v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 72
- Court
- District Court
The Court held the Corporation's termination of weekly compensation was contrary to the weight of the evidence because the 1987 accident remained a material cause of the appellant's incapacity; the medical opinion relied on by the Corporation (Mr Phillips) was not clearly determinative and was influenced by a misleading question, so the Corporation lacked adequate evidence to cease payments.
