The claimant's account was not credible and was contradicted by contemporaneous CCTV footage, contemporaneous emails, and emergency medical records showing no objective chest injury; the claimant gave inconsistent and retracted statements to police and fabricated elements of his account; meetings and verbal warnings did not amount to a sudden, unusual and unfortunate 'accident' causing injury. Consequently, statutory liability under s5(1) was not established and the claim for employees' compensation fails.
