Sangster v Accident Compensation Corporation (Entitlement to Treatment)
- Citation
- [2017] NZACC 120
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is dismissed because the proposed treatment was for a condition (lumbar disc prolapse and radiculopathy) that was not covered by ACC; under the Act entitlements are linked to a covered injury and the Court has no jurisdiction to grant treatment funding for a non-covered condition.
