Bouterey v Accident Compensation Corporation

- District Court
Medical evidence established the femoral stress fracture developed cumulatively from repeated running over months and was already present but asymptomatic before 8 July 2010; the events were not distinguishable forceful events causing discrete injury but a gradual process, therefore the injury is not an 'accident' under s25(1) and ACC's decision declining cover was correct.
