Wernham v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 81
- Court
- District Court
On the totality of evidence the appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the 2009 incident caused the Achilles tear or substantive ongoing pathology; the medical evidence more strongly supports a gradual tendinopathic process and the treating surgeon's tentative opinions were insufficient to rebut the CAP and radiological interpretation, therefore appeal dismissed.
