Burns v CareAdvantage
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 184
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the assault on 17 November 2009 caused physical injuries to Ms Burns' lumbar spine and her ongoing symptoms are causally linked; Care Advantage's investigation was inadequate and its decision to decline cover was unreasonable; the reviewer's decision is quashed and respondent must grant appropriate cover.
