Air New Zealand v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

- Court
- District Court
The Court concluded the existing medical evidence was conflicted and that a material factual misunderstanding (belief in a January 1997 work trial) had not been addressed; because the conflict could materially affect causation under s 7, the appropriate remedy was to remit the matter to the Review Officer to obtain clarification from Dr Dryson in light of the correct factual matrix and then issue a fresh decision after allowing submissions.
