Liddington v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 224
- Court
- District Court
The medical evidence (principally Hadlow) established that by August 2011 the claimant's symptoms were, in substance, due to aggravation of extensive pre-existing degenerative spinal disease rather than a fresh acute injury caused by the 2011 accident; that evidence provided a sufficient basis under the statutory 'not satisfied' test for the Corporation to suspend weekly compensation, so the appeal was dismissed.
