Thomas v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2015] NZACC 321
- Court
- District Court
The appeal is dismissed because the earlier decision declining cover was made within the statutory timeframes so s58 deemed cover is not available, there was insufficient contemporaneous evidence to conclude the angiogram caused the infarct, and although the Corporation initially lacked valid consent to investigate further, it now holds consent and should proceed to obtain records and make a fresh decision.
