Gilani v. Travelers Insurance Company of Canada (19-009248)

The claimant brought a motion to add claims for extracontractual issues, to add claims for bad faith against the adjusters personally, and to add claims against an investigation company for intrusion upon seclusion. Adjudicator Mazerolle held that the Tribunal did not have the statutory authority to adjudicate claims outside of the SABS and the accident benefits contained therein. No statutory authority or regulation gave the Tribunal the power to adjudicate tort claims or extracontractual issues aside from a special award.
