Ferguson v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2000] NZACC 160
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant did not have symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knee at the time the respondent cancelled entitlements; the medical evidence supports a traumatic chondral/cartilage injury potentially magnified by referred pain from a pre-existing hip osteoarthritis, therefore section 10 exclusion did not apply and the respondent's 20 May 1999 cancellation was unjustified and is revoked.
