Merriman v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2006] NZACC 219
- Court
- District Court
Appeal dismissed because the appellant failed to discharge the onus of proving, on the balance of probabilities, a causal link between omeprazole and eosinophilic bronchitis; a persuasive body of specialist opinion found no established association and ACC's investigation was reasonable, so mere possibility or temporal coincidence was insufficient to establish medical misadventure.
