The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought an income replacement benefit (IRB).
The central dispute was whether the applicant was an employee or self-employed at the time of the accident, as he worked part-time as a production worker and also drove for Uber.
The Tribunal found the applicant was an employee at the time of the accident and calculated his IRB based on his gross employment income four weeks prior to the accident.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a weekly IRB of $232.96 for specified periods, plus interest.
The applicant's claim for an award under Regulation 664 for unreasonable delay was dismissed.
