- Court
- District Court
The appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the advanced degenerative change at L3/4 was causally connected to the 1978 pelvic fracture; therefore entitlement to payment of private hospital treatment costs is denied despite the operation meeting Regulation 11(2) requirements, and the Corporation's decision is confirmed.
