The insurer brought a motion to dismiss the applicant's arbitration proceeding for statutory accident benefits, arguing that the applicant failed to provide updated address and contact information.
The arbitrator dismissed the motion, noting that a previous appeal decision had already determined that a mere failure to provide contact information does not warrant the dismissal of an arbitration proceeding.
The arbitrator also declined to order the applicant's counsel to confirm communication with the applicant or provide updated contact information, finding no evidence or statutory basis to support such orders.
