Big Glory Seafoods v Accident Rehabilitation and Compensation Insurance Corporation
- Citation
- [1998] NZACC 90
- Court
- District Court
The injury was a work injury under s6 because it occurred while the claimant was at his workplace and would not have occurred but for his presence there, and s81 does not apply because 'wilfully' requires that the injury itself be the intended object of the act, which was not proved; appellant failed to establish wilful self-injury.
- Work injury definition
- Wilfully self-inflicted injury (s81)
- Intent versus recklessness
- Onus of proof
