- Court
- District Court
Court found the appellant did suffer tenosynovitis as a personal injury but preferred the occupational physician and workplace assessor evidence that the employment tasks and workstation did not present a particular property or characteristic that caused or materially contributed to the injury and that the risk was not significantly greater for persons performing that task; accordingly statutory tests in s7(1)(a) and s7(1)(c) were not satisfied and cover was properly declined, so the Review Officer's decision was confirmed.
