What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The applicant's permanent disability rate was based on actual earned wages during employment for Treasury Wine Estates, as she regularly worked over 30 hours a week. There was insufficient evidence to support a higher average weekly wage or earning capacity under §4453(c)(4).
The facts that decided it

Favours Defendant prevailed
