Appeal for maximum income benefits dismissed due to unreliable business records and lack of credibility.
The appellant, who was injured in a motor vehicle accident, appealed an arbitration order limiting his weekly income benefits to the minimum rate of $185.60.
He claimed entitlement to the maximum $600 per week based on his self-employment income from a moving business.
The Director's Delegate dismissed the appeal, upholding the arbitrator's finding that the appellant's business records were unreliable and his testimony lacked credibility.
The appellant failed to meet the onus of establishing his pre-accident income and expenses on a balance of probabilities.
