Sturgess-Monks v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2013] NZACC 150
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the evidence did not establish that the first surgeon failed to excise the pilonidal sinus or that ACC unreasonably failed to investigate; the ongoing symptoms were consistent with recognised recurrence/ordinary consequences of treatment and therefore did not constitute a compensable treatment injury; appeal dismissed.
