K.H.N. v. The Guarantee Company of North America (19-000081)

A Tribunal hearing began regarding the claimant’s entitlement to NEBs and the cost of assessments. Shortly after the start of the hearing, Adjudicator Paluch determined that he was involved in a similar hearing involving the relationship between counsel and the clinics the claimant attended. He ordered himself recused from the matter on the basis that a reasonable apprehension of bias could arise. A new hearing was scheduled with a different adjudicator.
