The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and applied for statutory accident benefits.
After the insurer terminated her weekly income replacement benefits, the applicant applied for arbitration.
However, the applicant subsequently failed to attend a resumed pre-hearing, failed to provide requested productions, and failed to attend the arbitration hearing.
The insurer brought a motion to dismiss the application for arbitration due to abandonment and delay.
The arbitrator found that the applicant had abandoned her case and that the application was vexatious.
The application for arbitration was dismissed, and the applicant was ordered to pay $3,000 in expenses to the insurer.
