N v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 184
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the tribunal found the respondent intentionally placed Glissen on his feet during his shift based on the circumstantial evidence and experiment results; consequently s119(1)(a) disentitlement applies and s119(3) does not because there was no evidence the self‑infliction resulted from a pre-existing covered mental injury or the circumstances of ss21/21B.
