    King v Accident Compensation Corporation and another

    Citation
    [2005] NZACC 135
    Court
    District Court

    Appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the particular property or characteristic of his employment caused or materially contributed to his osteolysis to the extent required by s30(2) because credible medical evidence established a strong association between the condition and non-employment weightlifting and the appellant did not exclude gym weightlifting as a substantial cause; therefore s30 is not satisfied and cover is not available.
