The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought accident benefits.
At a pre-hearing, the applicant participated briefly by telephone from Sri Lanka, but his identity could not be confirmed and he failed to attend the resumed in-person pre-hearing.
The applicant's legal representative brought a motion to be removed from the record due to a breakdown in the solicitor-client relationship, which was granted.
Due to the applicant's failure to attend the resumed pre-hearing, the arbitrator dismissed the application for arbitration as frivolous, vexatious, and/or commenced in bad faith pursuant to Rule 68.1 of the Dispute Resolution Practice Code.
