The applicants sought accident benefits following two motor vehicle accidents.
The insurer scheduled examinations under section 44 of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule, but the applicants failed to attend, insisting on the presence of a Ministry of the Attorney General accredited interpreter.
The arbitrator held that there is no requirement for a MAG accredited interpreter, only a competent and independent one.
Because the applicants failed to attend the required examinations, they were precluded by section 55.2 of the Schedule from mediating and arbitrating their claims.
