On the balance of probabilities the pneumothorax was a primary spontaneous event occurring in temporal association with the forklift incident; subsequent and contemporaneous medical evidence collectively undermined the reasoning for WorkAon's 30 July 2007 acceptance so that that decision was clearly made in error under s65 as interpreted in Bartels, and the revocation of cover was therefore lawful and must be upheld.
