The applicant sought reconsideration of a motion order that denied enforcement of a partial settlement on the basis that the Licence Appeal Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to apply contract law principles.
The Vice Chair granted the reconsideration, acknowledging an error of law.
Relying on recent appellate jurisprudence, the Vice Chair held that the Tribunal has exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a binding settlement was reached regarding statutory accident benefits.
The parties were granted 30 days to make further submissions on the new case law.
