The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The respondent insurer denied several treatment plans.
The applicant filed an application with the Tribunal more than two years after the denials.
The respondent argued the application was statute-barred.
The Tribunal found that two of the denial letters were invalid because they failed to provide adequate medical reasons, meaning the limitation period was not triggered for those plans.
For the remaining valid denials, the Tribunal exercised its discretion under section 7 of the Licence Appeal Tribunal Act to extend the limitation period, finding that there was merit to the appeal and no prejudice to the respondent.
The applicant was permitted to proceed to a substantive hearing on all disputed treatment plans.
