Estate of McRae v Accident Compensation Corporation (Work Related Gradual Process Injury)
- Citation
- [2018] NZACC 68
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant failed to establish employment 'involving exposure' to asbestos beyond background/ambient levels during the claimant's tenure; ACC had complied with s 57 investigation obligations and its expert evidence showed no plausible workplace exposure sufficient to satisfy s 30(3), therefore ACC validly declined cover under s 60 and the review decision was correctly upheld; appeal dismissed.
