Otter v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1996] NZACC 149
- Court
- District Court
The appellant's mental injury resulted from his wife's death and not from a physical injury to himself nor from an act committed against him that falls within the First Schedule under s8(3); therefore the injury falls outside the Act's definition of 'personal injury' and is not covered, so the appeal is dismissed.
