<Preliminary Issue Decision in the Tribunal Hearing>
-There was a following preliminary issue decision in the Tribunal hearing earlier today:.
– Was the Aviva Insurance Company’s Notice of Denial to pay accident benefits containing straightforward and clear language enough to trigger a 2-year limitation under the SABS?
– The answer was “No.” The adjudicator was convinced that the Notices of refusal to pay benefits must contain straightforward and clear language, must be directed towards an unsophisticated person. Good day for our client, indeed!
-The 2 year limitation since the date of denial was extended under section 7 of the Licence Appeal Tribunal Act.
-The case itself was worth us waiting to give the Aviva Insurance Company the full exposure to the potential Catastrophic Impairments which could be worth $1M.
