Applicant v. Aviva General Insurance Company (17-000370)

The claimant sought entitlement to a number of benefits. At the case conference, a number of timelines were set. The claimant missed a number of document exchange deadlines and subsequently sought an adjournment and the insurer did not consent. The Tribunal did not grant the adjournment. On reconsideration Executive Chair Lamoureux noted the reason for the adjournment request was to allow for receipt of IE reports completed by the insurer on unrelated benefits. The claimant at the time of reconsideration now had the reports and therefore a determination was no longer necessary and the hearing was able to continue.
