The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The respondent denied benefits because the applicant failed to notify them of the accident within seven days, as required by section 32(1) of the Schedule.
A preliminary issue hearing was held in writing to determine if the applicant was statute-barred from proceeding.
The applicant failed to file any submissions.
The adjudicator found that the applicant did not comply with the notification timelines and, without submissions, failed to establish a reasonable explanation for the delay.
The application was dismissed as statute-barred.
