- Citation
- [2005] NZACC 336
- Court
- District Court
Ongoing professional maintenance for the appellant's implant-supported fixed bridge constitutes 'treatment' provided by an authorised treatment provider (dentist), is necessary for continued oral health, has a substantial causal link to the compensable medical misadventure, and therefore falls within ACC's liability under Schedule 1 Clause 2; appeal allowed and prior decisions quashed.
