NO APPEAL TO COURTS?
Re
“Car crash victims in for a rough ride” (Alan Shanoff, Jan. 25): I was
rather disturbed to read about the changes in resolving auto insurance
benefit disputes as described in Alan Shanoff’s column. Perhaps there
may be reasons for the changes but I have never been convinced that the
province of Ontario leadership really know what they are doing. However,
what is really appalling is the reference, “Bill 15 removes the option
of pursuing remedies through the courts and forces all accident benefit
claims to be resolved without recourse to courts.” Since when does the
provincial government have the authority to decide what should and can
be decided in a court of law? This is a basic freedom in Canada and I
don’t believe any province can override that freedom to have disputes
settled by a judge in a formal court hearing. I sincerely hope that our
elected representatives will have the courage to speak up and remove
this section of Bill 15 as it is detrimental to all citizens of Ontario.
