- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the surgical findings viewed by the treating surgeon, considered together with the temporal nexus, credible contemporaneous reporting and supportive expert opinion, outweighed the imaging and CAP's gradual‑process hypothesis; therefore a causal link between the 10 April 2013 accident and the rotator cuff and biceps tendon tears was established and ACC cover must be granted.
