Dalley v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 126
- Court
- District Court
The Court held that the material on file did not establish a specific diagnosis or identify the particular property or characteristic of the claimant's employment required by s7 to establish causation; because the Corporation failed to undertake adequate enquiries, the proper course is to remit the claim to the Review Officer to direct appropriate investigations (occupational history, workplace assessment and biomechanical analysis) to determine causation.
