- Court
- District Court
On the evidence, in particular the FCE indicating invalid/very poor effort and the longstanding treating surgeon's opinion that the appellant could perform sedentary telephonist duties, the appellant had the capacity to undertake her pre-accident or similar employment; accordingly the Review Officer's decision to cease weekly compensation under s37A was correct and the appeal is dismissed.
