The Respondent failed to prove the existence or communication of the alleged no-contact-with-pets policy because the witnesses who purported to support it did not attend trial; the Applicant's unchallenged evidence established she was bitten while performing work duties and not playing with the dog; accordingly the injury arose out of and in the course of employment and the Respondent is liable to pay statutory compensation; the quantified awards under ss9,10 and 10A follow the statutory formulas and expert findings.
