Application for accident benefits dismissed due to expired limitation period and lack of supporting medical evidence.
The Applicant sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found that the Applicant was barred from disputing several treatment plans because she failed to apply within the two-year limitation period, noting the insurer's denials were compliant with the requirements in Smith v. Co-operators.
For the remaining treatment plans, the Tribunal dismissed the claims, finding the Applicant failed to provide contemporaneous medical evidence demonstrating that the proposed multidisciplinary, neurological, physiotherapy, and psychological treatments were reasonable and necessary.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to demonstrate his injuries, including alleged psychological impairments and concussion symptoms, fell outside the MIG.
The tribunal also dismissed the claim for non-earner benefits, as the applicant provided no evidence of a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
All claims for medical benefits, transportation expenses, interest, and an award were dismissed.
Application for statutory accident benefits largely dismissed due to insufficient evidence supporting the claims.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including non-earner benefits, various treatment plans, and attendant care benefits.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to meet her burden of proof for the non-earner benefits, as she did not provide sufficient evidence comparing her pre- and post-accident activities.
The Tribunal also dismissed the claims for the disputed treatment plans and attendant care benefits due to a lack of supporting evidence and submissions.
The respondent conceded entitlement to one psychotherapy treatment plan.
The claim for an award under s. 10 of Reg. 664 was dismissed.
Guarantors held liable under guarantees despite blaming each other for corporate debt.
A secured creditor applied for judgment against individual guarantors following the borrower corporation’s receivership.
The respondents had executed personal guarantees securing corporate indebtedness totaling $140,000.
Each guarantor attempted to shift responsibility to the other and argued the creditor should first exhaust recovery against the corporation.
The court held the guarantees expressly permitted the creditor to proceed directly against the guarantors without exhausting recourse against the principal debtor.
Finding no tenable defence, the court granted judgment against both guarantors for the guaranteed amounts plus interest and costs.
