In a personal injury action, in what circumstances will an arbitrator accept a lump sum lump sum payment?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Farmer v. Farmer, 2021 ONSC 5913 (CanLII):

In another case cited by the wife, Pollitt v. Pollitt, 2011 ONSC 1186 at ¶ 6, after Czutrin J. determined that a lump sum was appropriate, he invited additional submissions about various variables that he felt needed to be considered. In this appeal before me, the wife seems to be relying on Pollitt v. Pollitt, to argue that the arbitrator engaged in “crystal ball gazing”, did not properly consider the variables that Czutrin J. identified, and selected an arbitrary retirement age for the husband not connected to the evidence.
