Following a decision denying the applicant's claim for statutory accident benefits, the arbitrator determined the quantum of expenses payable by the applicant to the insurer.
The insurer sought full indemnity of $5,569.41.
The arbitrator found the proceeding was not complex and the preparation time claimed was excessive.
The arbitrator fixed the insurer's fees at $2,000 inclusive of GST and allowed disbursements of $1,461.16 plus GST, for a total of $3,461.16.
Neither party was awarded expenses for the expense hearing itself.
