Dunn v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2016] NZACC 298
- Court
- District Court
No question of law was established: both experts had regard to the prior injuries required by s109(2)(b); the issue was which expert's factual assessment of consequences (pain and function) to prefer. The judge lawfully preferred the cogent reasoning of the respondent's expert and correctly held that the assessor's incidental error about the scene of injury did not invalidate the assessment. Leave to appeal on a question of law was therefore refused.
