Arbitration application dismissed as statute-barred for exceeding the two-year limitation period.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and applied for statutory accident benefits.
After a series of mediations and settlement discussions, the applicant filed for arbitration more than two years after the insurer's refusal to pay benefits and more than 90 days after the mediator's report.
The insurer raised a preliminary issue that the application was statute-barred.
The arbitrator found that the limitation period had expired and the applicant was precluded from proceeding to arbitration.
