Application for accident benefits dismissed as statute-barred; extension of limitation period denied.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, and the applicant applied to the Licence Appeal Tribunal more than two years after the denials.
The respondent raised a preliminary issue that the application was statute-barred.
The Tribunal applied the four-factor test under section 7 of the Licence Appeal Tribunal Act to determine whether to extend the limitation period.
Finding that the applicant lacked a bona fide intention to appeal within the limitation period and that the delay was not adequately justified, the Tribunal declined to extend the limitation period and dismissed the application.
