The insurer brought a motion seeking to compel the applicant to comply with a previous production order and to attend an insurer's orthopaedic assessment, or alternatively, to stay the arbitration until the applicant attended the assessment.
The arbitrator found that the previous production order still stood and no further order was necessary.
The arbitrator held that the Commission lacked jurisdiction to compel attendance at a medical examination.
Furthermore, the request for a stay was denied because the insurer's notice of examination failed to state the reasons for the examination, rendering it invalid under section 42(2) of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The motion was dismissed with no costs awarded.
