W v Accident Compensation Corporation

- Court
- District Court
The appeal is dismissed because the mere failure of the 2003 sterilisation to achieve the desired result is insufficient under s32(3) to establish a treatment injury; credible expert evidence found the 2003 procedure was performed correctly and the 2010 pregnancy was caused by spontaneous tubal re‑anastamosis, and there was no failure to obtain informed consent.
