T.D. v. The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company (16-002640)

The claimant sought to combine the hearing of his case with the hearing of another applicant’s claim, as both claims arose from the same accident. The insurer opposed combining the files. Adjudicator Trojek denied the request to combine the hearings, reasoning that the claims dealt with two different claims by two difference people. Each claim was unique, and there was no value in terms of fairness, efficacy, or cost in having the matters heard together.
