- Court
- District Court
On the whole of the medical and occupational evidence the appellant's library work was the more important etiology and non-employment activities did not materially contribute to the onset of the gradual process injury under s 7(1)(b); the risk from shelving books was significantly greater for the appellant given her scoliosis under s 7(1)(c), therefore the claim is an employment injury.
