Arbitration of accident benefits claims dismissed for abandonment following the applicant's death.
The insurer brought a motion to dismiss the arbitration of statutory accident benefits claims due to abandonment.
The applicant had passed away, and there had been no progress in the arbitration for an extended period.
The estate's representative consented to the dismissal, provided it was suspended for 30 days to allow for settlement discussions.
The 30-day period elapsed without any notice of intent to continue the arbitration from a duly appointed estate representative.
Consequently, the arbitrator dismissed the claims.
