Jones v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 403
- Court
- District Court
Leave to appeal was refused because the issues raised were questions of fact and assessment of expert evidence, not questions of law for the High Court; ACC lawfully revoked the deemed decision under s65 after reliable expert opinion established a pre-existing depression, and Hornby requires a physical injury to be a significant direct cause for mental injury cover, which was not established here.
