The applicant sought accident benefits for physiotherapy following a motor vehicle accident.
At the hearing, the applicant's counsel requested an adjournment because the applicant was incarcerated and unable to attend.
The arbitrator denied the adjournment request, noting the disproportionate costs to the insurer and the speculative nature of the applicant's release.
As the applicant presented no evidence to substantiate his claim, the arbitrator dismissed the application.
The insurer was awarded $6,000 in expenses due to the applicant's failure to comply with production requirements and failure to advise of his whereabouts.
