- Court
- District Court
The court found on the balance of credible oral evidence and corroborating records of continuous osteopathic treatment that the appellant's incapacity from the 11 July 1994 injury did not effectively abate and therefore commenced on the date of injury; accordingly the appellant qualifies for earnings-related compensation under s 40 and the appeal is allowed.
