- Court
- District Court
On the balance of probabilities theDistrict Court found the lifting incident on 2 August 2011 caused the appellant's left inguinal hernia; the appellant met the Smith guideline criteria and medical opinion of the GP and surgeon outweighed ACC advisors, therefore the review decision was quashed and ACC cover must be reinstated and assessed (including surgical repair costs).
