The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including income replacement benefits (IRBs) and various treatment plans.

The Tribunal found the applicant was barred from proceeding with one invoice due to failing to provide requested supervision notes under s. 46.2 of the Schedule.

On the substantive issues, the Tribunal awarded IRBs for the disputed period, finding the accident was a necessary cause of the applicant's major depressive episode which rendered her substantially unable to perform her employment tasks.

The Tribunal also partially approved treatment plans for a functional abilities evaluation, a chronic pain assessment, and psychological services, but denied others including a neurological assessment and a chronic pain program.

The claim for a special award was dismissed.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for physiotherapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy following a 2018 motor vehicle accident.

The respondent denied the treatment plans.

The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove the proposed treatments were reasonable and necessary, noting her extensive pre-existing conditions and lack of support from her treating physicians.

The application was dismissed, and claims for interest and a section 10 award were denied.

The plaintiff sought default judgment against the defendants for injuries sustained in a slip and fall on ice at the premises where he rented a room.

The defendants were noted in default after failing to defend the action.

The court found the defendants owed a duty of care under the Occupiers' Liability Act and their negligence caused the plaintiff's broken hip.

The court awarded the plaintiff $80,000 in general damages, $10,000 for future care costs, the OHIP subrogated claim, and costs.
