- [2016] NZACC 286
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant failed to establish that she has PCOS under the internationally accepted Rotterdam diagnostic criteria and failed to establish a causal link between PCOS and antipsychotic medication; the court preferred the specialist opinion of Dr Kee over the other material and accordingly upheld ACC's decision declining cover for PCOS and dismissed the appeal.
