Hopewell v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1997] NZACC 15

The court found the appellant's employment involved particular characteristics (repeated kneeling/bending) that made the injury likely and that the medical evidence did not establish the injury was caused wholly or substantially by ageing; accordingly the injury falls within section 7 and the appeal is allowed.
