The employee appealed against a finding that the employers were not liable for a breach of the 1998 Regulations leading to his injuries at work. As a crane driver at a steel works, he had incurred back pain due to what he said was a bad posture in the crane cab.
Held: It was not clear that the judge addressed the critical issue upon regulation 17(2), as now seen. The claimants’ appeal was allowed because of the causation error
