- [2006] NZACC 57
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the evidence did not establish that the appellant suffered a traumatic inguinal hernia as a result of the lifting incident on 18 October 2002; the delay in diagnosis, absence of contemporaneous symptoms or reporting, and the chronology indicating gradual onset meant the respondent was correct to decline cover.
