Campbell v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [2000] NZACC 1
- Court
- District Court
Medical evidence (reports of Mr Wright and Mr Caughey) established that degenerative AC joint changes were the primary cause of the appellant's left shoulder condition; employment activity at most provoked symptoms and did not satisfy the s 7(1) criteria nor amount to an accident under s 8(2); accordingly the review officer's decision denying cover was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
