Some clinic lawyer guy, opinions are mine, all mine.
The 2024 #WSIAT annual report is available here - www.wsiat.ca/en/publicati...
If I'm reading it right, about 13% of Tribunal decisions were diverted to ADR. More than 1 in 10 WSIB decisions overturned at least in part without the need of a formal hearing.

Sweet mother of Rudolph's nose, I posted a similar complaint last year! Yes dear reader, it is the same Tribunal. I believe they're hiring Vice Chairs fyi...
If your administrative body is not holding hearings over the holidays, maybe go the extra step and not require submissions from counsel during this period either.

Sigh. Yes I know my client has waited 5 years to get to a hearing at a certain chronically delayed provincial Tribunal. Did you really have to ask for submissions due 3 days before Christmas?!

Today's #WSIB comedy: Do Ask, Don't Care. So my client is getting approved treatment. The WSIB have a form they ask the healthcare professional to fill out. On the form is a question, "Can the worker return to work?" He answers "no". In fact does it on three forms over 6 months! 1/2

Losing my patience with #WSIB again. I get a call after filing an ARF asking me to explain my position. Did you read my letter? I ask. The CM says they're still required to call. When I'm asked if I had anything to add i said this new approach wastes everyone's time. 1/2

I had time to do a very, very brief blog on this case. I am organizing a virtual education session about it in December. Stay tuned.
