Reconsideration of document production order dismissed; applicant misunderstood scope of required disclosure.
The applicant requested a reconsideration of a case conference order requiring him to produce a list of relevant, non-privileged documents from his accident benefits file.
The applicant argued this breached procedural fairness and was overly burdensome given the 13-year-old file.
The Vice Chair dismissed the request, finding the applicant misunderstood the order, which did not require producing the entire file or privileged documents, and that the order was within the adjudicator's discretion to ensure procedural fairness for both parties.
