- Court
- District Court
The court held that section 7(7) must be read so as not to preclude employers other than the 'last employer' from review rights where medical evidence links their employment to the gradual process; the Review Officer's interpretation allowing interested employers to participate was correct and the appeal was dismissed, with leave to appeal to the High Court granted for definitive interpretation of section 7.
