Applicant v. Security National Insurance Company (18-001613)

The insurer sought an adjournment of the scheduled Case Conference to allow time for CAT assessment to be completed. The Tribunal refused the requested. Associate Chair Batty also refused the adjournment request, stating that the assessments need to be completed by the time of the Case Conference for the insurer to participate. The insurer’s defence did not need to be finalized by the Case Conference, and the claim was not being adjudicated during the Case Conference.
