- Court
- District Court
The Court upheld the Corporation's decision that the claimant's patellar tendonitis met s7(1)(a),(b) and (c): the employment involved prolonged standing, bending and lifting which caused the injury; the workplace properties were not present to a material extent outside work; the risk was significantly greater for a person with the claimant's predisposition performing those tasks; the appellant failed to discharge its onus on appeal.
