The applicant insurer sought repayment of income replacement benefits (IRBs) paid to the respondent following a motor vehicle accident, alleging wilful misrepresentation.
The Tribunal found that the respondent wilfully misrepresented her employment status and income at the time of the accident, as evidence showed she was not employed or self-employed in the months prior.
The Tribunal ordered the respondent to repay $4,369.52 in overpaid IRBs pursuant to s. 52 of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule, plus interest.
