The applicant applied for arbitration at the Financial Services Commission of Ontario after disputes arose concerning his entitlement to statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The applicant failed to attend the pre-hearing conference and the arbitration hearing, and ceased communication with his representative, the insurer, and the Commission.
The arbitrator concluded that the applicant had abandoned his claims.
The application was dismissed, and the applicant was ordered to pay $500 for the insurer's expenses.
