The applicant, a resident of China who sustained a severe traumatic brain injury in a motorcoach collision in Ontario, sought court approval for the settlement of her Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS) claim.
The court dispensed with the requirement for the litigation guardian to file an affidavit, finding it cost-effective and proportionate.
The court approved the SABS settlement of $626,074.11 as reasonable and in the applicant's best interests.
The court also approved the solicitor-client account, the distribution of funds to healthcare providers, and the proposed management of the net settlement funds by the applicant's husband in China.
