Dyson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2010] NZACC 161
- Court
- District Court
Medical evidence established the death resulted from a spontaneous rupture of an intracranial aneurysm (subarachnoid haemorrhage) and not from personal injury by accident; therefore the statutory criteria for a funeral grant were not met and ACC's decision to decline payment was correct.
