OVERVIEW

Total and Permanent Disablement in Superannuation and Insurance provides a conceptual framework and in-depth consideration of the case law and its application for the purposes of evaluating total and permanent disablement in the areas of superannuation and insurance.

This book discusses over 130 cases (including both historic precedents and up-to-date case law), deals with claims both under the general law and the separate statutory system and will prove to be a highly valuable resource for anyone working in, or having an interest in, this complex area of law.
