- Court
- District Court
The Corporation conducted adequate inquiries and expert evidence from a specialist occupational physician established that repeated keyboard/thumb action (space bar use) was the relevant employment characteristic causing DeQuervain's tenosynovitis; non-employment bagpipe playing was not causative and the appellant failed to rebut the decision on the balance of probabilities, so the decision to grant cover under s7 is confirmed.
