The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and applied for statutory accident benefits.
Following a dispute, the applicant applied for arbitration at the Financial Services Commission of Ontario.
The applicant's counsel was removed from the record at a pre-hearing discussion, and the applicant subsequently failed to attend the rescheduled pre-hearing and the arbitration hearing itself.
The arbitrator dismissed the application for arbitration due to the applicant's non-attendance and failure to provide evidence to support the claims.
The insurer was awarded $1,000 in expenses based on its complete success.
