The applicant applied for statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The insurer denied the claims, and the matter proceeded to arbitration.

The applicant failed to attend the pre-hearing, settlement discussion, and the scheduled arbitration hearing without providing notice.

The arbitrator dismissed the application due to the applicant's failure to prove his claim.

Finding the applicant's conduct to be an abuse of process, the arbitrator ordered the applicant to pay the insurer's arbitration expenses in the amount of $1,727.83.

The Applicant applied for arbitration after the Insurer terminated his weekly income replacement benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The Applicant's agent withdrew from the record after being unable to contact the Applicant.

The Applicant failed to attend the arbitration hearing.

The Arbitrator dismissed the Applicant's claims for income replacement benefits, medical benefits, and interest, as the Applicant failed to meet the burden of proof.

The Insurer's claim for a return of its assessment fee was also dismissed due to a lack of jurisdiction under the amended Insurance Act.

The issue of expenses was deferred.
