Workers Compensation Nominal Insurer (incorrectly named as Concut (NSW) Pty Limited, Deregistered) v Dures

The case before the court was an application by Workers Compensation Nominal Insurer to strike out a pre-filing statement provided by the claimant, Dures, in a workers compensation matter. The dispute arose under the Workers Compensation Act 1987 and was heard in the Dust Diseases Tribunal of New South Wales. The primary legal issue before the court was whether the pre-filing statement provided by Dures complied with the statutory requirements under section 151DA of the Act.

The Workers Compensation Nominal Insurer argued that the pre-filing statement was deficient and should be struck out, as it did not meet the necessary statutory criteria. Dures, on the other hand, contended that the pre-filing statement was sufficient and in compliance with the statutory requirements. The court considered the statutory provisions and examined the content of the pre-filing statement to determine whether it met the necessary standards. Ultimately, the court found that the pre-filing statement provided by Dures was adequate and complied with the statutory requirements. Consequently, the application to strike out the pre-filing statement was dismissed, and no order was made as to costs.
