Somlay v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2010] NZACC 224
- Court
- District Court
Existing expert opinions (Dr Turner and Dr Wigley) and contemporaneous evidence were insufficient for the Court, on the balance of probabilities, to conclude appellant had vocational independence in 2003 and 2005; therefore the Court ordered an independent pain specialist medical assessment at ACC's expense to resolve the factual medical issues before making a final decision.
