The applicant sought expenses following the settlement of her arbitration claim for prescription medication against her insurer.
The arbitrator assessed the applicant's expenses at $1,500 for fees and $601.22 for disbursements, finding she achieved a greater degree of success in the settlement.
The arbitrator also held that certain pre-arbitration expenses, such as a medical report obtained to respond to an insurer's examination, were incurred 'in respect of the arbitration' under s. 282(11) of the Insurance Act and were therefore recoverable.
