    Hardiman v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2009] NZACC 106
    Court
    District Court

    Leave to appeal was declined because the District Court's decision rested on findings of fact that there was insufficient evidence the C5/C6 lesion was caused or contributed to by the 11 November 1983 fall, and the purported legal question would require determination of cover under the Accident Compensation Act 1982, a matter beyond the District Court's jurisdiction under the transitional statutory scheme; therefore no proper question of law arising from the Decision justified leave to appeal.

    • Cover for injury under historic act
    • Leave to appeal
    • Transitional provisions
    • Jurisdictional limits of district court
    • Evidential causation
