Question juridique clé
Whether the assault remained a natural cause of the insured's psychiatric disorder after 31 August 2001
Solution extraite
The medical evidence did not convincingly show that the assault had ceased to be causally relevant; the natural causal link remained established.
Motifs extraits
None of the psychiatric reports demonstrated a disappearance of causality. The opinions cited by the insurer did not exclude that the accident still played a causal role, and the record did not show a status quo sine despite a pre-existing condition.
