Law360 Canada ( December 24, 2025, 11:49 AM EST) -- Appeal by Seib from Automobile Accident Insurance Commission’s (Commission) benefits decision. Mr. Seib was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident on July 30, 2015. He was entitled to no fault benefits under the Automobile Accident Insurance Act (the Act). Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) determined that he was capable of being employed as of Sept. 18, 2019 (SGI Decision). Mr. Seib appealed that decision to the Commission which dismissed his appeal (Commission Decision). He was granted leave to appeal the Commission Decision on five questions of law or jurisdiction including whether the Commission erred in law by reading the words “as of the date or time of the determination” into s. 132 of the Act. Taken together, those five questions called for this Court to determine the nature of an appeal to the Commission. Specifically, the Court stated that this appeal required it to decide whether an appeal to the Commission was in the nature of a de novo hearing and, if so, whether the Act limited the Commission to receiving evidence that spoke to the date that SGI decided an insured individual’s entitlement. It further stated that these questions were important beyond the four corners of this appeal, but they were particularly significant in this appeal because of the long delays between the accident in question (2015) and the Commission’s decision (2023)....
