Appeal of accident benefits arbitration dismissed; arbitrator's findings on credibility and evidence upheld.
The appellant appealed an arbitrator's decision that entitled him to weekly income benefits of $185.00 and required him to repay the insurer $67.00 weekly for overpayments.
The appellant sought an oral rehearing, arguing the arbitrator erred in preferring documentary evidence over oral testimony.
The Director of Arbitrations denied the request for an oral rehearing, finding no error of law or fact in the arbitrator's assessment of credibility and evidence.
The appeal was dismissed on the record, and the appellant was ordered to repay the overpaid benefits.
The appellant's request for expenses was also denied due to his conduct unreasonably prolonging the proceedings.
