The applicant sought $10,200.00 for a multidisciplinary report to rebut the respondent's termination of his income replacement benefit.

The applicant argued that procedural fairness and section 25 of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule entitled him to an insurer-funded rebuttal report.

The Tribunal held that the Schedule does not provide for the funding of rebuttal reports for income replacement benefit determinations, noting that section 25(1)5 specifically applies to catastrophic impairment applications.

The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the respondent was not liable for the cost of the assessment.
