Moffitt v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 138
- Court
- District Court
The Court found on the balance of probabilities that the appellant sustained a partial subscapularis tendon tear in the 22 February 2011 accident which contributed to his incapacity; because some injury from the accident materially contributed to incapacity the appellant was entitled to weekly compensation from cessation of work in July 2011 until recovery after surgery in July 2012, so ACC's decision to decline weekly compensation was wrong and is revoked.
