The claimant sought a catastrophic designation. The insurer requested five IEs. The claimant agreed to attend three, and did not attend two because she felt the remaining assessments were excessive and unreasonable. On the basis of refusing to attend the remaining IEs, the insurer designated the applicant non-CAT. The claimant filed an application for arbitration. The insurer sought to preclude a hearing due to the claimant’s non-attendance at an IE. The Tribunal denied the insurer’s motion and determined the outstanding IEs were not reasonable; the matter was set down for a hearing. On reconsideration, Executive Chair Lamoureux ruled that although the insurer may want the remaining IE, it is not one it is entitled to have by virtue of the assessment being unreasonable. The appeal was dismissed.
