    Special leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal is granted because the applicability of the May v May approach to District Court appeals from reviewers on vocational independence is a question capable of bona fide and serious argument and of public and private interest; leave was refused on challenges to the Ramsay guidelines and the 'common sense and holistic' interpretation; the District Court must assess the evidence of the medical assessor rather than re‑weigh medical causation matters beyond the assessor's opinion.
