The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought income replacement benefits, alleging he had a legitimate contract of employment to commence work as a truck driver shortly after the accident.
The insurer disputed the existence of the contract.
The arbitrator reviewed the evidence, including the financial viability of the alleged guaranteed weekly wage in a seasonal industry, and found the applicant's evidence improbable.
The arbitrator concluded the applicant failed to establish the existence of a legitimate contract of employment entered into prior to the accident, and dismissed the claim.
