- Court
- District Court
The District Court held that Dr Wright's medical assessment was comprehensive, considered all relevant material including Mr Webb's neuropsychological reports, reasonably accounted for depression and psychosocial factors, and that no medical evidence established the appellant could not achieve 35 hours per week in the identified occupations; therefore ACC's vocational independence decision was upheld and the appeal dismissed.
