The appellant, a pedestrian injured in a car accident, appealed the Licence Appeal Tribunal's denial of her request to adjourn a hearing regarding her catastrophic impairment designation.
The adjournment was sought due to a breakdown in her solicitor-client relationship on the eve of the hearing.
The Divisional Court allowed the appeal, finding that the appellant was denied procedural fairness as she demonstrated a complete inability to represent herself at the complex hearing.
The matter was remitted to the LAT for a new hearing on the merits.
