The defendant was charged with willfully failing to inform the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of a material change in circumstances in connection with his entitlement to benefits within 10 days after the change occurred, contrary to section 149(2) of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997.
The charge covered the period between October 11, 2010, and September 1, 2011.
The prosecution alleged that the defendant was gainfully employed and had demonstrated improved physical and psychological functioning, which constituted material changes he failed to report.
The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt and dismissed it.
