Hawkins Construction Limited v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 61
- Court
- District Court
Because the appellant accepted the July 11 1994 event as a work injury, the medical evidence established that that accident was the principal cause of the claimant's symptoms to 31 March 1995 and the eggshell skull principle applied, the payments constituted qualifying payments attributable in full to the appellant and the respondent did not unlawfully fail to exercise discretion under factor g; broader employer fairness considerations are irrelevant to attribution.
