- Court
- District Court
Leave to appeal to the High Court was granted because the contested issue — the formulation and scope of the causation test under s.7(4) of the ACC Act and the meaning of "related to non-physical stress" — raises questions of law (statutory interpretation) suitable for appellate determination, distinct from factual findings which the Court cannot revisit.
