Claim for special award and interest dismissed as applicant's failure to provide records frustrated adjustment.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent initially denied claims based on the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and a lack of supporting medical documentation, but later removed the applicant from the MIG and approved outstanding treatment plans prior to a case conference.
The only remaining issues were the applicant's entitlement to interest and a special award under s. 10 of Regulation 664 for unreasonable delay.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the respondent's conduct was unreasonable, noting that the applicant's noncompliance with s. 33 requests for legible medical records frustrated the adjustment process.
The application for an award and interest was dismissed.
Class action settlement notices approved for distribution in English only.
The plaintiffs in a class proceeding sought approval of the long-form and short-form notices to be distributed to affected class members following a previously approved settlement.
The court approved the notices, finding them to be in plain language and clear regarding participation and opt-out procedures.
The court also permitted the notices to be distributed in English only, as the defendant only provided services in English.
Notice plan for proposed class action settlement regarding a cyber-breach approved with minor amendment.
The plaintiffs in a putative class proceeding regarding a cyber-breach of the defendant's computer systems sought approval of a notice plan for a proposed settlement.
The court approved the notice plan, which included direct notice to known affected individuals and indirect notice via press release and social media, finding it maximized breadth while minimizing costs.
The court ordered one amendment to include the Zoom link for the upcoming settlement approval hearing.
