Smith v Accident Compensation Corporation

Citation

[2004] NZACC 159
Court

District Court

The application for leave was dismissed because the appellant raised factual disputes about causation and treatment choices, not any error of law; the District Court correctly applied statutory provisions, relied on independent expert and medical evidence, and its factual findings did not disclose an arguable legal error for the High Court to consider.
