Judicial review of LAT preliminary decision extending limitation period dismissed as premature.
The applicant insurer sought judicial review of a preliminary decision by the Licence Appeal Tribunal that extended the limitation period for the respondent's claim for attendant care benefits.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application as premature, finding that the insurer must first proceed to the main hearing on the merits and, if unsuccessful, pursue a reconsideration and subsequent appeal.
The court held that no exceptional circumstances existed to justify fragmenting the administrative proceedings and reviewing the interim decision.
