B v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2009] NZACC 51
- Court
- District Court
The appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that she was continuously incapable of performing her pre-injury clerical work or equivalent from shortly after October 1987 through the subsequent decades because contemporaneous medical and employment evidence is incomplete and conflicting and the respondent was prejudiced by the lengthy delay; therefore entitlement to backdated weekly compensation was not established and the appeal is dismissed.
