Pearson v State of Tasmania [2024] TASSC 41

For the reasons stated above, the employer became liable to make weekly payments to the worker when it received the medical certificate of 14 June 2023. That liability continued until the certificate expired on 12 July 2023, prior to the tribunal determining on 7 August 2023 that the employer had an arguable case in relation to the payment of compensation.
I therefore allow the appeal, set aside the decision appealed against, and order that the respondent pay to the appellant weekly payments of workers compensation in respect of the period from 18 May 2023 to 12 July 2023 inclusive.
