Milne v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2011] NZACC 141
- Court
- District Court
No serious and arguable question of law was shown because the appellant sought to raise a new issue—mental injury as a consequence of covered physical injury—that was not before Judge Beattie, and Judge Beattie's factual findings that incapacity arose from chronic anxiety/adjustment disorder unrelated to hearing/tinnitus are supported by the medical evidence; accordingly leave to appeal was refused.
