The applicant, a self-employed electrician, sought weekly income replacement benefits following a motor vehicle accident in October 1994.
The arbitrator dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to provide sufficient medical or documentary evidence to prove he suffered a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his employment.
Furthermore, the applicant failed to provide adequate financial documentation to substantiate his claim for loss of income and the costs of replacement workers.
The issues of medical report costs and arbitration expenses were deferred.
