The appellant insurer sought a stay of an arbitrator's order requiring it to pay interest on medical benefits from the date the applications or invoices were received.
The insurer argued that interest should only run from the date of the arbitrator's decision, relying on previous case law.
The Director's Delegate denied the stay request, finding that the insurer failed to demonstrate hardship and that staying the order would prejudice the respondent insured, given the compensatory nature of the interest provisions and the lengthy delay since the claims arose.
