The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and applied for statutory accident benefits.
After a settlement was reached, the applicant failed to sign the settlement documents and became unreachable.
The insurer requested a resumption of the pre-hearing discussion to dismiss the application.
The applicant's counsel moved to be removed from the record due to a breakdown in the solicitor-client relationship.
The applicant failed to attend the hearing.
The arbitrator granted the counsel's motion to withdraw, dismissed the application for arbitration due to the applicant's failure to discharge his onus, and ordered the applicant to pay the insurer's expenses of $2,573.13.
