- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 220
- Court
- District Court
The appellant had pre-existing subclinical asthma and lifelong atopic dermatitis; workplace factors only triggered or aggravated those conditions and did not cause or contribute to the creation of the diseases within the meaning of s7(1)(a); non-employment factors were also material under s7(1)(b); therefore entitlement under s7(1) is not established and the appeal is dismissed.
