Bartkus v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2012] NZACC 36
- Court
- District Court
There was insufficient evidence to establish on the balance of probabilities that the appellant's hormone treatment caused papillary thyroid carcinoma; absence of informed consent does not relieve the claimant of proving causation; and there were no extenuating circumstances under s.135(3) to justify acceptance of a late review. All appeals dismissed.
