Appellant
Respondent
Facts: Northbridge General Insurance Corp. and Jevco Insurance Co. disputed over the responsibility for paying Statutory Accident Benefits (SABs) to Kalob Robinson, who suffered catastrophic injuries in an incident. The core issue was whether the incident qualified as an "automobile accident" under the insurance policy, with Northbridge arguing that it did not.
Issues: The main issues were the interpretation of "automobile accident" under the insurance policy, whether the incident involving Robinson qualified as such, and which insurer was liable for the SABs.
Court's Ruling: The Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed Northbridge's appeal, affirming the arbitrator's decision that Northbridge was the priority insurer responsible for paying Robinson's SABs. The court found no abuse of process in the arbitrator's decision and held that the incident qualified as an automobile accident under the policy.
Costs/Damages: The court did not detail specific costs or damages related to the dismissal of the appeal, focusing instead on the legal obligations of Northbridge to cover the SABs for Robinson.
