The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought accident benefits.
After mediation failed, she applied for arbitration.
Her legal representative brought a motion to be removed from the record due to a breakdown in the solicitor-client relationship, having been unable to contact the applicant.
The arbitrator granted the representative's motion.
As the applicant failed to attend the pre-hearing or the subsequent teleconference despite notice, the arbitrator dismissed the application for arbitration without a hearing, finding the proceeding to be frivolous, vexatious, or commenced in bad faith.
