Insurer examinations found reasonable but conditional on medical clearance; interim benefits denied.
The parties brought cross-motions in an arbitration for income replacement benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer sought a production order and an order compelling the applicant to attend five insurer examinations.
The applicant sought interim income replacement benefits, alleging the insurer failed to comply with termination provisions.
The arbitrator granted the production order and found a reasonable relationship between the requested assessments and the issues in dispute, but required the applicant to obtain medical clearance from his family physician and cardiologist before proceeding due to his recent heart attack.
The applicant's motion for interim benefits was dismissed, as the insurer's termination notice was found to be compliant.
