Motion for production of insurer's internal and re-insurance records dismissed as irrelevant and overly broad.
The applicant, injured in a motor vehicle accident, sought an order for the production of various internal documents from the insurer, including re-insurance records, committee minutes, adjusters' performance reviews, and the file of the broker who arranged the insurer's medical examinations.
The arbitrator dismissed the request, noting that the arbitration process is intended to be more expedient and restricted in scope than the court system.
The applicant had not claimed a special award, and there was no evidence that a re-insurer was involved in adjusting the claim or that the broker had edited medical reports.
The requested productions were deemed irrelevant and contrary to the efficiency goals of the arbitration process.
