Auckland City Council v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation

- Court
- District Court
The Court found on the balance of probabilities that the claimant sustained a lower back injury when he slipped and fell at work on 14 September 1992; that injury occurred 'in the course of' and 'arising out of' employment within the statutory definitions in ss.3 and 6; accordingly the Corporation correctly classified and accepted the claim as a work injury; s.121 did not apply because the back injury did not produce a disability substantially greater by combined effect than the back injury alone.
