The appellants appealed a Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT) Reconsideration Decision that upheld the denial of their claims for non-earner and housekeeping benefits under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule following a motor vehicle accident.
The Divisional Court found no error of law or procedural unfairness in the LAT's handling of the hearing, including its evidentiary rulings and the substitution of an adjudicator for preliminary matters.
The court also dismissed the appellants' allegation of a reasonable apprehension of bias regarding a LAT adjudicator who subsequently accepted employment with a different insurer, finding the high threshold for bias was not met.
The appeal was dismissed with costs awarded to the respondent.
