- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the appellant's elbow osteoarthritis did not meet the statutory test for a work-related gradual process under s30; however medical evidence identified a specific work-related event on 30 March 2002 that, on balance, caused the appellant's right elbow injury, so cover for right elbow sprain (including resultant osteoarthritis) is allowed while the gradual process claim is dismissed.
