The constitutional attack on s.130(1)(a) is rejected because the military nexus test can be read into the provision and it was satisfied; the challenge to s.117(f) is moot; on the merits the appellant was not entitled to Separation Expense because his children were not normally resident with him and he had no home from which he was absent; repeated false allowance claims established the actus reus and mens rea for fraud and for making false statements; appeal dismissed and convictions upheld.

Insurance law C43664

Cervo v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company

Majority held the motion judge did not err in refusing relief under s.129: the judge properly exercised discretion after weighing claimant conduct, absence of substantial demonstrated hardship, and prejudice to insurer from lost investigative and treatment opportunities; s.59(4) does not automatically displace s.129 but the discretionary refusal to relieve from forfeiture was within the motion judge's permissible exercise of discretion and should not be disturbed on appeal.

  • Relief from forfeiture
  • Statutory limitation/notice requirements
  • Statutory accident benefits schedule (sabs)
  • Reasonable excuse
  • Solicitor reliance/agency
  • Prejudice and hardship analysis
