- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the contemporaneous and treating clinicians' evidence, particularly Dr Matthews' January 2010 assessment and supporting reports from Waitemata specialists and treating therapists, establish a causal link between the appellant's covered injuries (major depressive disorder and bulimia nervosa) and her incapacity for work since 2007; accordingly the review decision of 1 May 2014 and the Corporation's decision of 8 August 2013 are quashed and the appellant is entitled to weekly compensation.
