ACCIDENT COMPENSATION CORPORATION v CALVER [2019] NZHC 2667
- Citation
- [2019] NZHC 2667
- Court
- High Court
Mesothelioma that develops from an external accidental cause can amount to a "personal injury" under s 26 of the Accident Compensation Act 2001; the legal question whether non-work-related mesothelioma is a personal injury is one of law capable of bona fide and serious argument and therefore warranting leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal.
