The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
At the arbitration hearing, the applicant failed to attend.
The applicant's counsel brought a motion to be removed from the record due to a breakdown in the solicitor-client relationship, which was granted.
The insurer brought a motion to dismiss the application for arbitration due to the applicant's failure to attend the pre-hearings and the hearing.
The arbitrator proceeded in the applicant's absence and dismissed the application, as no evidence was presented to support the claims.
The insurer was awarded expenses of $2,182.54.
