Q v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 288
- Court
- District Court
Weighing contemporaneous specialist reports against later, inconsistent criticism, the court found no proven failure to observe the requisite standard of care nor a rare adverse consequence of treatment; expert evidence did not establish on the balance of probabilities that treatment caused the appellant's cerebral palsy, therefore the appeal is dismissed.
