Questão jurídica principal
Whether the insured remained entitled to daily allowances and medical treatment after 31 March 2007
Decisão extraída
No further entitlement existed because the medical end state had been reached and no additional treatment was expected to produce a significant improvement in earning capacity.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on the orthopaedic expert report of 4 November 2006. The knee complaints did not undermine the work-capacity assessment, and the proposed corrective operation was not shown to materially improve capacity for adapted work. Ongoing measures only served to maintain, not increase, earning capacity.
