The Supreme Court dismissed the claim that the applicant's asthma was primarily caused by mold exposure at work. The applicant argued that workplace humidity and mold triggered the condition, while the employer contended the illness had pre-existing causes unrelated to employment. The court found insufficient evidence linking the specific mold exposure to the asthma diagnosis as the primary cause.
