The insurer opposed and sought costs against the applicant and his representatives, arguing the proceeding was an abuse of process.
The arbitrator denied the applicant's request for expenses, finding his conduct unreasonably prolonged the proceedings.
The arbitrator awarded the insurer $1,000 against the applicant under section 282(11.2) of the Insurance Act due to his failure to comply with undertakings and production orders.
The insurer's request for costs against the applicant's representatives was denied for lack of statutory authority.
Applicant awarded limited weekly non-income benefits and prescription costs following a motor vehicle accident.

The arbitrator found that the applicant suffered a substantial inability to perform essential tasks for a limited period and awarded benefits for that time.
The insurer's claim for repayment of benefits was dismissed due to lack of evidence.
The applicant was also awarded prescription costs and arbitration expenses.
