The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and applied for statutory accident benefits from State Farm.
A priority dispute between insurers was resolved, with Western Assurance assuming carriage of the claim.
State Farm brought a motion on consent to add Western Assurance as a party and remove itself from the arbitration.
The arbitrator granted the motion, finding jurisdiction under the Statutory Powers Procedure Act and the Dispute Resolution Practice Code to add and remove parties, and concluding that the proposed order was the most just, quickest, and least expensive manner of proceeding.
