Referred pain

    Luyk v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2004] NZACC 52
    Court
    District Court

    The District Court accepted uncontested specialist medical evidence that the appellant's groin pain is referred pain from pre‑existing multi‑level degenerative lumbar spine disease and that the appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that her ongoing incapacitating condition is attributable to the 1995 groin strain; therefore the respondent's suspension of entitlements under s116 was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
