Applicant awarded costs of motion after former law firm unreasonably delayed transferring her file.
The applicant brought a motion against her former law firm, the third party, seeking an order for the delivery of her accident benefits file to her new counsel.
The third party transferred the file the day before the motion hearing.
The arbitrator found that the third party had unreasonably delayed the transfer of the file, which prejudiced the applicant's ability to prepare for a pre-hearing conference.
The arbitrator awarded the applicant $629.27 for the expenses of the motion and dismissed the third party's claim for expenses.
