Judge Middleton concluded Judge Beattie correctly interpreted section 81 and the concept of work injury: Leigh's deliberate punching of the freezer door, although intentional, nonetheless resulted in personal injury arising out of and in the course of his employment and did not fall within the section 81 exclusion, and therefore questions of law should be determined by the High Court.
