Bluescope Steel (AIS) Pty Ltd v Sekulovski

The appeal concerned a dispute between Bluescope Steel (AIS) Pty Ltd and Mr. Sekulovski regarding the entitlement to payment for hearing aids under the *Workers Compensation Act 1987* (NSW). The matter came before the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The primary legal issues before the Court of Appeal were whether the Deputy President had correctly applied section 60 of the *Workers Compensation Act 1987* (NSW) in determining the worker's entitlement to the cost of hearing aids. Additionally, the court considered whether the Deputy President had failed to properly apply sections 122 and 326 of the *Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998* (NSW), specifically in relation to the effect of a medical panel certificate as conclusive evidence under section 122(6).

The Court of Appeal refused leave to appeal. While the specific reasoning for the refusal is not detailed in the provided text, the outcome indicates that the court found no arguable error in the Deputy President's decision concerning the application of the relevant legislative provisions. The appeal was dismissed, and Bluescope Steel (AIS) Pty Ltd was ordered to pay Mr. Sekulovski's costs.
