- DCEC1413/2019
On balance the events of 20 June 2017 were part of routine disciplinary/administrative redeployment and attendant interactions, not an "accident" within s5(1); the claimant's psychiatric condition pre‑existed and the claimant failed to prove causation or any permanent reduction in earning capacity; accordingly the compensation claim is dismissed and the Form 9 assessment does not establish entitlement.
