Richardson v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1999] NZACC 281
- Court
- District Court
On the medical evidence, particularly the specialist occupational physician's reports, the appellant's mountain biking constituted a non-employment activity with properties that contributed to the bilateral wrist condition to a material extent; unilateral and less forceful work tasks could aggravate but were unlikely to be causative of a bilateral tendinitis, therefore s.7(1)(b) is not satisfied and cover was correctly declined.
