- FACV12/2011
The phrase 'notifiable human infectious or contagious disease' in clause 14.5 is properly interpreted to mean diseases required by law to be notified to an authority; SARS did not become statutorily notifiable in Hong Kong until 27 March 2003 and therefore coverage under clause 14.5 commenced on that date; appeal dismissed.
