Request to add accident benefit claims to arbitration dismissed as barred by the two-year limitation period.
The applicant sought to add claims for various statutory accident benefits to an ongoing arbitration three years after the mediator's report was issued.
The insurer argued the claims were barred by the two-year limitation period under the Insurance Act and the Schedule.
The arbitrator found that the applicant failed to commence arbitration within two years of the insurer's refusal to pay or within 90 days of receiving the mediator's report.
The request to add the claims was dismissed as time-barred.
