Summary:
Based on evidence, BOR determined that a sum of $2,000 be allocated for mental distress. Umpire found that it was reasonably open to the BOR to make this finding. FCA found no reviewable error: matter of fact for BOR to determine on the evidence as to the various components of the settlement.**NOTE: The FCA endorsed the four principles set out in J. Renaud (CUB 17849). Elements other than loss of income can be included in a settlement. However, the claimant must bring forward evidence that there were various components to the settlement before the BOR can proceed to apportion any monies.
