The respondent's decision declining cover was revoked because the contemporaneous clinical evidence (surgeon's notes and letter) established that the appellant experienced severe/acute pain on 6 December 1999 associated with a right inguinal hernia, meeting the statutory requirement for cover under the Accident Insurance Act 1998.
