- Court
- District Court
Specialist medical evidence established that appellant's plantar fasciitis was more likely related to congenital/biomechanical factors and that the characteristics of cafe work (walking/standing) are common to non-work activities and do not impose a significantly greater risk on cafe workers; therefore the requirements of s7(1)(a),(b) and (c) are not satisfied and the claim for cover fails, so the appeal is dismissed.
