Muir v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 31
- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant's dental decay was primarily caused by use of sugared chewing gum and longstanding dental vulnerability; venlafaxine-induced xerostomia was at most an indirect/contributory factor and the evidence did not show treating professionals failed to administer proper treatment such that the injury was not an ordinary consequence of proper treatment, therefore no treatment injury cover was available.
