Evans v Accident Compensation Corporation (Suspension of Entitlements)
- Citation
- [2019] NZACC 36
- Court
- District Court
The court accepted the specialist occupational physician's detailed examination and reasoning (Dr Strack) and the body of medical evidence showing cervical spondylotic change and non-organic features; on the balance of probabilities the claimant's current condition and need for treatment were attributable to degenerative disease and related factors rather than the covered accidents, and ACC therefore had a sufficient basis to be not satisfied that entitlements should continue under s117; appeal dismissed.
