D v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2004] NZACC 16
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the 1977 beating occurred but it was a transient physical injury that does not persist; there is no adequate specialist evidence establishing a causative link 'because of' between that single physical incident and the appellant's later psychiatric disorders, therefore the appellant is not entitled to cover under s29 and the respondent's declinature is upheld.
