Arbitration application for accident benefits dismissed after applicant failed to attend the scheduled hearing.
The applicant applied for arbitration at the Financial Services Commission of Ontario following a motor vehicle accident, seeking medical benefits, a special award, and interest.
At the scheduled arbitration hearing, the applicant failed to appear.
The applicant's representative brought a motion to be removed due to a breakdown in the solicitor-client relationship, which was denied.
The insurer subsequently moved to dismiss the application due to the applicant's failure to attend and adduce evidence.
The applicant's representative consented to the motion, and the arbitrator dismissed the application in its entirety.
