DID YOU KNOW THAT THE SUPERIOR COURT HAS JUST PRONOUCED A DECISION : DION v. ADMINISTRATIVE COURT (2019 QCCS 1027) where it granted an application for judicial review, given that the Administrative Labour Court had refused a complaint of provocation at the psychological level, based on the fact that a claim for physical relapse was denied?

These are two separate injuries that deserve separate assessment. It is not enough to simply claim that there are other possible causes than the after-effects or consequences of the accident at work to put an end to the causal connection. Therefore, the non-causality for a physical part of the claim is not a ground for rejection for a psychological claim.

Be wise and don’t forget to challenge!
