The applicant sought reimbursement of a $16.59 television rental expense incurred during a hospitalization three years after a motor vehicle accident.
The arbitrator dismissed the claim, finding no evidence of a causal link between the hospitalization and the accident.
The arbitrator also declined to award expenses to the applicant and warned that her multiple mediation applications and threats of small claims actions bordered on an abuse of process, though an assessment fee was not imposed due to an undertaking to cease further actions.
