The court held on the balance of probabilities that the assault occurred at the workplace during working hours and thus arose in the course of employment; the statutory presumption in s5(4)(a) applied and was not rebutted by the Respondent's evidence which was found not credible; any purported resignation/agreement did not bar compensation under s31; accordingly the Respondent was liable and the specified sums were awarded with credit for the advance.
