- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant's disabling symptoms as at January 2005 were predominantly due to a pre‑existing chronic functional bowel disorder and not primarily attributable to the 1997 haemorrhage, although adhesions attributable to the 1997 bleed may give rise to cover and entitlements for treatment and incapacity when they are the identified cause of disablement.
