- [2018] NZACC 150
- Court
- District Court
The expert medical evidence established longstanding degenerative osteoarthritis in the left knee that was rendered symptomatic while at work but was not caused or materially contributed to by the employment tasks, and there was no evidence of a significantly greater risk for persons performing those tasks; accordingly the appellant failed to satisfy s30(2)(b) and (c) and cover was properly declined, so the appeal is dismissed.
