- Court
- District Court
The court upheld the review officer's finding that the appellant's first period of incapacity occurred in August 1994 (first time off work), applied s.41(2) to use the income year last ended before that date (year ended March 1994) for assessing weekly compensation, and found no evidential basis to invoke s.41(3) to adjust earnings because there was insufficient proof that prior years' income was likely affected by the injury; accordingly the appeal was dismissed.
