The self-represented applicant sought to resile from a settlement agreement reached with her insurer regarding statutory accident benefits.
The applicant argued she had repudiated the settlement within the statutory cooling-off period.
The arbitrator found that the applicant's communication within the cooling-off period merely requested an extension of time to consult a lawyer and did not constitute a clear and unequivocal repudiation of the settlement.
Consequently, the settlement remained binding, and the applicant was barred from proceeding with her arbitration claim.
