- Court
- District Court
The appeal was dismissed because the certified medical Assessor, appointed and required to apply the AMA (4th ed) guides, assessed whole person impairment at 3%, below the statutory 10% threshold for an independence allowance, and the Court must accept that certified assessment and cannot substitute its own view.
