The insurer brought a motion to dismiss the applicant's arbitration proceeding for statutory accident benefits due to her failure to pursue the claim and attend pre-hearings.
The applicant, who had difficulty retaining counsel due to personal circumstances, finally retained a lawyer who attended the motion and undertook to produce requested documents.
The arbitrator dismissed the motion to dismiss, ordered the applicant to produce the specified documents within 30 days, and awarded the insurer $250 in costs thrown away for the applicant's previous non-attendance.
