Questão jurídica principal
Whether SUVA had to grant an invalidity pension from 1 April 2005 based on a 30% loss of earning capacity.
Decisão extraída
No. The medical evidence did not establish a continuing accident-related somatic impairment, and the alleged psychiatric consequences lacked adequate causal connection.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellant's arguments did not displace the lower court's assessment. Later medical letters did not prove accident causation; the 'post hoc, ergo propter hoc' inference is not an admissible basis for causation, especially for degenerative spinal conditions without structural lesion. Existing records also did not support a different result.
