Sisnett v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 97
- Court
- District Court
On the medical evidence from independent specialists and the operating surgeon, the claimant's cervical myelopathy and neurological deficits are attributable substantially to congenital canal narrowing, degenerative disc disease at C6/7 and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, not to the 2001 incident; therefore the condition is excluded from ACC cover under s26(2) and (4) and the appeal is dismissed.
