S.C. v. Aviva Insurance Canada (18-007005)

The claimant sought a request for reconsideration following a denied request to adjourn a hearing on consent. The Tribunal initially denied the adjournment request because there was no evidentiary basis to support the request. Associate Chair Batty granted the reconsideration request because the claimant submitted information that demonstrated compelling personal reasons why counsel could not attend on short notice. The hearing was too close to assign the file to another counsel and the respondent had consented to additional dates.
