A po­lice of­fi­cer has won his ap­peal in a long-run­ning le­gal fight over a shoul­der in­jury he suf­fered as a re­cruit, af­ter the Court of Ap­peal over­turned a High Court de­ci­sion that had dis­missed his case.

In an oral rul­ing de­liv­ered last week, Ap­pel­late Judges Mi­ra Dean-Ar­mor­er, Car­la Brown-An­toine and Eleanor Don­ald­son-Hon­ey­well up­held PC Sharaz Mo­han’s ap­peal against the dis­missal of his neg­li­gence and per­son­al in­jury claim.

The case arose from an in­ci­dent in June 2014 while Mo­han was train­ing at the Ch­aguara­mas Ho­tel and Con­ven­tion Cen­tre.
