In this episode we consider the case decided last week by the Victorian Court of Appeal in Connelly v TAC [2024] VSCA 20, an important case where the Court overturned the longstanding authority from 1997 of Mobilio v Balliotis which held that the standard of appellate review of "serious injury" determinations of the County Court of Victoria was the so-called House v King standard. The case also provides an important recent example of the Court reversing the determining, finding that the Plaintiff's injury was "serious", overturning the first instance decision.
