The defendants brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's claim for long-term disability benefits and related damages, including an allegation of conspiracy.
The plaintiff had previously received benefits but her coverage was terminated when she reduced her work hours to part-time.
The court found no evidence to support the conspiracy claim against the employer or the insurers.
Furthermore, the court held that the plaintiff's claim for disability benefits was statute-barred under the Limitations Act, 2002, as she discovered or ought to have discovered her claim when she was allegedly unable to work full-time in March 2007, but did not commence the action until May 2011.
The motion for summary judgment was granted and the action was dismissed.
