- Court
- District Court
The Court found the second respondent's review application valid; on the merits the appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that cannabis dependency existed to a material extent at the end of employment (s7(1)(b)) and therefore failed s7(1) causation requirements; additionally the diagnosed PTSD was related to non-physical stress and is excluded by s7(4); therefore no compensable personal injury by gradual process arising out of employment was established and the appeal is dismissed.
