Varicocele

    Jones v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2011] NZACC 336
    Court
    District Court

    The appeal is dismissed because the medical evidence only establishes a mere possibility of a left varicocele and does not, on the balance of probabilities, establish (a) that a left varicocele exists or (b) that any such varicocele is a personal injury caused by the appellant's vasectomy or vasectomy reversal; accordingly ACC correctly declined cover for the left varicocele.
