Wasn't the legislation amended a few years ago so as to make it a deceptive practice for an insurer to rely on an unqualified assessment (IME/IE) to deny policy benefits? Wasn't a fine the intended remedy for this form of transgression (deceptive practice)? Has such a fine ever been levied? If not - why not? Or am I wrong - was no such legislative change made a few years back? But if there was such a change - how is this "new" administrative fine much different in terms of a remedy for unqualified insurer assessments? Could you please clarify? I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteRegulation 7/00 does not deal with assessment reports. There was a provision a decade ago but was removed by the provincial Cabinet the last time they amended the regulation.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that there was a provision made a decade ago that included unqualified assessments as a deceptive practice (punishible be fine) but which was subsequently removed by Cabinet? Why was it removed? And doubly "why" - given all these years later the same Liberal Cabinet is finally re-enacting the provision that serves as a remedy for unqualified/substandard insurer assessments?
DeleteI am not privy to Cabinet decisions.
