  • Summary

  • Join Kate and Greg as they regroup for a conversation in the bar to discuss the recent High Court decision in the Adam Elisha v Vision Australia case. This case was initially discussed in Episode 4, when the conversation was recorded from a LinkedIn live event Kate & Greg hosted in early 2024.In this episode, Greg summarises the High Court’s decision and distils the legal technicalities into manageable bite sized chunks – extremely helpful for those who find legal technicalities hard to digest! A summary? The High Court concluded that Mr Elisha’s loss was not “too remote”, and the precise psychiatric injury he suffered did not need to have been foreseen at the time the contract was entered.Greg provides listeners with legal takeaways that, in no surprise to Greg, Kate did not find inspiring or comforting in her quest for psychological injuries and their severity to be reduced in today’s workplaces. But none-the-less, the discussion provides another perfect opportunity for the legal and psychological sides of psychosocial risk management to be meaningfully discussed in a bar-side chat.Choose your drink, settle down and listen in to this special episode that not only concludes the Elisha v Vision Australia matter, but also brings Series 1 to a close.
