QBE Workers Compensation (NSW) Ltd v Pearsall No 2

The case of QBE Workers Compensation (NSW) Ltd v Pearsall No 2 concerned an appeal from a decision of the Compensation Court of New South Wales. The appellant, QBE Workers Compensation (NSW) Ltd, sought to appeal a determination made in favour of the respondent, Mr Pearsall.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the Compensation Court had erred in its assessment of the respondent's entitlement to workers compensation benefits. Specifically, the appeal focused on the interpretation and application of relevant provisions of the *Workers Compensation Act 1987* (NSW) concerning the calculation of weekly payments.

The Court of Appeal, in its reasons, found no error in the decision of the Compensation Court. The judges determined that the Compensation Court had correctly applied the statutory provisions to the facts before it, and that there was no question of principle raised by the appeal. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.

The motion was dismissed with costs.
