JT v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 164
- Court
- District Court
The appellant prevented the respondent from fairly assessing causation by withholding disclosure of a potentially causative sensitive claim; because the undisclosed material was a candidate cause the court could not allow reliance on an expert opinion that excluded it, so the reviewer's decision was quashed and ACC was directed to reconsider if the appellant authorises disclosure and obtains a full psychiatric opinion for ACC to consider.
