The applicant sought expenses following a successful arbitration for statutory accident benefits.
The parties disputed the number of hours for preparation, the applicable hourly rate, the amount of disbursements, and the insurer's claim for costs thrown away due to an earlier adjournment.
The arbitrator reduced the applicant's claimed preparation time and disbursements, set the hourly rate at $100, and allowed the insurer to set off 20 hours of costs thrown away at $67 per hour.
