Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

The applicants were involved in a car accident in 2019 and applied for benefits under their insurance policy. Following a multi-day hearing in 2022, some benefits were allowed, but others were denied, including benefits they claimed for housekeeping and funding for home maintenance. They appealed to the License Appeal Tribunal. Regarding the statutory benefits, the panel found that the applicants had not purchased coverage for those benefits and had not met the onus of establishing a complete inability to carry on a normal life which was necessary to claim such benefits. Their requests for other relief were denied. Their request for a reconsideration of that decision was denied by Vice Chair LAT. They appealed to the Divisional Court, but the appeal was denied. A motion for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal for Ontario was dismissed.
