Moy v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2010] NZACC 51
- Court
- District Court
The evidence did not establish on the balance of probabilities that the appellant's loss of taste and smell was a treatment injury; temporal coincidence alone, without a plausible medical mechanism or reliable supporting expert opinion, is insufficient to prove causation under the Act, so the decision to decline cover is upheld.
