The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
Prior to the scheduled arbitration hearing, the applicant's counsel requested to be removed from the record due to a breakdown in the solicitor-client relationship.
The arbitrator granted the request.
The applicant failed to attend the hearing despite having notice.
Consequently, the arbitrator dismissed the application for arbitration, finding the applicant failed to meet her onus of proof, and awarded the insurer $1,000 in expenses.
