Abbis v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 294
- Court
- District Court
Because the sole medical evidence established that the appellant’s ongoing problems were not attributable to the 3 March 1996 accident but to preexisting conditions, the appellant did not suffer a continuing personal injury covered by the Act and therefore had no entitlement to payments including the independence allowance; a further reassessment was not required in those circumstances.
