M.C. v. Aviva General Insurance (17-002614)

The insurer sought reconsideration of an order made by the Tribunal allowing the claimant to summons the adjuster who had handled his matter. The insurer argued that it should have been given a copy of the claimant’s summons request, and should have had the opportunity to respond to that request. Executive Chair Lamoureux rejected the reconsideration. She held that Rules 8 and 4.3, when read together, allowed the claimant to request a summons without notifying the insurer.
