- Court
- District Court
The Court found on the balance of probabilities that the appellant suffered a personal injury (bilateral medial epicondylitis diagnosed by GP) and that s7(1)(a),(b) and (c) were satisfied based on occupational therapist, GP, physiotherapist evidence and the orthopaedic surgeon's acknowledgement that work activities could be a significant contributory factor; consequently the respondent's decision to decline cover was wrong and revoked.
