British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from WCAT-2011-01572 (Re), 2011 CanLII 51512 (BC WCAT):
The employer also refers to the fact that the worker had pre-existing groin/scrotal symptoms prior to May 13, 2009 and states that applying the test in Faryna v. Chorny and policy item #97.00 would support only that the worker’s pre-existing and ongoing groin problems came to his attention at work on May 13, 2009.
