25.1.1 Injuries Arising from Reasonable Disciplinary Action
This exclusion was amended to 'reasonable administrative action' by the SRCOLA 2 — 007 (effective 13 April 2007). The amendment only applies where the date of onset of a disease is on/after 13 April 2007. The following sections outline the exclusion as it stands for SRCA claims where date of injury/disease is pre 13 April 2007.
Section 4(2) of the SRCA, in defining the term 'injury' for purposes of the Act, states:
...does not include such disease, injury or aggravation suffered by an employee as a result of reasonable disciplinary action taken against the employee or failure by the employee to obtain a promotion, transfer or benefit in connection with his or her emplo — y — ment...
This section therefore deals with compensation cases which arise out of disciplinary action. See Chapter 26 for cases arising out of failure to obtain benefit, promotion, transfer etc.
