MacIvor v. Pitney Bowes:
Ontario Court of Appeal provides no relief from uncertainty
In January 2019, the Supreme Court of Canada denied leave to appeal from the Ontario Court of
Appeal’s decision in MacIvor v. Pitney Bowes. This decision dealt with whether a long-term disability
policy held by the plaintiff’s former employer provided coverage despite his resignation two years previous. The action was initially dismissed with a finding of no coverage. On appeal, the Court found that policy wording terminating coverage only applied claims arising from future injuries and not past injuries. The injury in questions occurred 12 years previous while the employee was working for his former employer. Accordingly, the Court found the policy provided coverage. Despite not being raised by the plaintiff, the Court also granted relief from forfeiture from the plaintiff’s failure to provide timely proof of claim.
