Jackson v Accident Compensation Corporation (Late filing - Claim for Cover)
- Citation
- [2018] NZACC 120
- Court
- District Court
The court allowed the extension of time for filing the appeal but, on the substantive issue, gave greater weight to the treating specialist and internal medical advice concluding the MRI and clinical reasoning supported longstanding cam-type FAI and related cartilage change not caused by the December 2012 incident; Dr Brick's opinion was equivocal on timing and causation and therefore insufficient to establish on the balance of probabilities that the accident caused the pathology, so the appeal was dismissed and cover declined.
