Federico and State Farm [+] Arbitration, 2016-10-03, Reg 403/96. Final Decision FSCO 5020
https://www5.fsco.gov.on.ca/AD/5020
I agree with State Farm’s submission that being wrong is different than being unreasonable, and I find that the factual basis of this case is distinguishable from the cases cited to me where a special award was made.

Therefore, I dismiss the claim by the Applicant for a special award.
