In this session, Michael McAuley analyses the recent High Court decision of Kozarov v State of Victoria [2022] HCA 12, involving a solicitor working for the Victorian Office of Public Prosecutions in a specialist sexual assault unit. Michael considers Kozarov in the context of prior mainly High Court decisions as to both work and psychiatric injury. In particular, the prior case of Koehler v Cerebos (Australia) Ltd [2005] HCA 15 is considered.
