The applicant filed an application alleging that the organizational respondent contravened a settlement agreement by failing to continue his medical and dental benefits, resulting in a denied claim.
The Tribunal found that a contravention occurred due to an administrative error that caused a lapse in coverage.
However, because the respondent retroactively reinstated the benefits and processed the claim as soon as it became aware of the issue, the Tribunal concluded the breach was de minimis.
The application was allowed, but the Tribunal exercised its discretion to order no remedy.
