- Court
- High Court
Sovereign had before it contemporaneous and competent expert medical and occupational evidence supporting the conclusion that claimant's depression was in remission and that there were no medical barriers to a graduated return to work; Sovereign acted fairly, gave opportunity to comment, and reached decisions that were reasonably open on the material available, so the Court will not substitute its own view; claimant failed to prove insurer acted unreasonably, unfairly or in bad faith.
