The Court of Appeal concluded the trial judge erred in rejecting the plaintiff's evidence of a fall and misapprehended the medical evidence; causation was established on a balance of probabilities (the fall and impact caused or precipitated the L4 injury or rendered a pre-existing degenerative condition symptomatic), liability for negligence was affirmed, and damages were reassessed and increased with specified components and interest, subject to deduction of the employee compensation payment and appropriate reductions for occupational risk and pre-existing degeneration.
