The applicant subsequently passed away before the arbitration hearing.
The applicant's former counsel was unable to obtain instructions from a representative of the estate and was permitted to withdraw as solicitors of record.

The insurer consented to the withdrawal.
The arbitrator permitted the estate to withdraw all of its disputes on a without expenses basis.
