The applicant was injured in two motor vehicle accidents and sought statutory accident benefits.

The parties entered into a settlement agreement, and the applicant signed a full and final release and a settlement disclosure notice.

The applicant subsequently filed a second application seeking payment of a disputed treatment plan, arguing it was not included in the settlement.

The respondent brought a motion to strike the application.

The Tribunal found that the settlement agreement was valid, full, and final, and explicitly included the disputed treatment plan amount.

The application was dismissed.

The applicant sought a medical benefit for a physiotherapy treatment plan in the amount of $1,501.04 following a motor vehicle accident.

The respondent initially denied the benefit but later advised the Tribunal that it had approved the disputed treatment plan.

The adjudicator found that the respondent conceded the claim, resolving the dispute, and noted that the respondent is liable to pay interest on the overdue payment pursuant to s. 51 of the Schedule.
