- District Court
The Tribunal accepted the psychiatric evidence of Dr Rajiah that the appellant meets the diagnostic criteria for a mental injury under s27 and that the covered physical injuries were a direct cause (not necessarily the sole cause) of the mental injury, thereby entitling the appellant to cover; ACC's decision denying cover was revoked.
