There was insufficient detailed medical material from the respondent to establish a pre-existing injury that would defeat an extension; medical reports indicated the applicant's pain was precipitated or aggravated by the workplace accident; applying the purpose and guidance of Choi Wai-chung the court exercised its discretion under section 10(5) to extend periodical payments beyond the statutory 24 months but not more than 12 months, conditional on the applicant producing medical certificates.
