The applicant applied for statutory accident benefits claiming psychological impairments resulting from her son's motor vehicle accident.
The application was submitted more than two years after the accident.
The respondent raised a preliminary issue regarding the applicant's failure to notify it of her intention to apply within the 7-day time limit prescribed by section 32(1) of the Schedule.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to comply with the time limit and did not provide a reasonable explanation for the delay under section 34.
Consequently, the applicant was statute-barred from proceeding with her claim pursuant to section 55(1) of the Schedule, and the application was dismissed.
