Corporation's right to examination and autopsy 43(1) The corporation may do the following, and the claimant shall afford to the corporation an opportunity to do them, namely: (a) examine the person of the insured in respect of whom claim is made, when and as often as it may reasonably require while a claim under this Part is pending; (b) in the case of the death of an insured, make an autopsy, subject to any laws of the province relating to autopsies. 43(2) Any examination under subsection (1) shall be made by a duly qualified medical practitioner or medical consultant appointed by the corporation and the examination shall be conducted at the expense of the corporation. M.R. 38/90 Payment of benefits 44(1) The corporation shall pay all benefits for which it is liable under this Part, except an indemnity payable for disability under Division VI within 30 days after the receipt of the proof of claim, or within 30 days of settlement between the corporation and an insured, if no proof of claim is required. 44(2) The indemnity for disability under Division VI shall be paid within 30 days after the corporation has received a proof of claim from an insured, if a proof of claim has been required by the corporation, and within 30 days of the receipt by the corporation of notice of claim if no proof of claim has been required; and payments shall be made thereafter within each following 30-day period during which the corporation remains liable for payments if the insured, whenever required by the corporation to do so, furnishes such proof of continuing disability as may be required. Waiver of condition 45 The corporation shall be deemed not to have waived any condition under this Part, either in whole or in part, unless the waiver is clearly expressed in writing, signed by an officer of the corporation. Time limit on claim 46 Any action or proceeding against the corporation for the recovery of any claim under this Part shall be commenced within two years after the cause of the action arose. Clinical hernia 47(1) No benefits are payable in respect of hernia, except clinical hernia of a disabling character that results from an accident that imposes liability for resulting damage or injury on the corporation; but the corporation is not liable if the hernia is the sole injury in respect of which benefits are claimed, unless the insured reports the condition to the corporation within seven days immediately following the occurrence of the accident. 47(2) Where an insured does not submit to treatment prescribed by a duly qualified physician or surgeon within two weeks of the accident wherefrom clinical hernia results directly and is the sole injury in respect of which benefits are claimed, benefits cease to be payable from the expiry of that two-week period, but the corporation may extend the period for submission to treatment. 47(3) Where an insured submits to an operation for a clinical hernia, the period of disability under Division VI, ceases upon the expiry of 42 days following the day of the operation, but that period may be extended by the corporation or the Court of King's Bench where either is satisfied that complications warranting an extension have resulted directly from that operation.

M.R. 26/2001 No waiver 71 Neither the corporation nor the insured shall be deemed to have waived any term or condition of this Division by any act relating to the appraisal or to the delivery and completion of proofs of loss or to the investigation or adjustment of a claim. Inspection 72 The corporation shall be permitted, at all reasonable times, to inspect the vehicle designated in an owner's certificate and its equipment. Other insurance of the same interest 73 Where the insured named in an owner's certificate has or places any additional or other insurance extending coverage against loss or damage, which, but for this section would be within the limits of the corporation's liability under this Part, the corporation is not liable to pay any insurance moneys under this Part, unless this Part is made subject to section 272 of The Insurance Act by order of the Lieutenant Governor in Council. Private extension insurance 74 Where the Superintendent of Insurance, in the exercise of any general or special power conferred upon him or her by The Insurance Act , approves a policy of automobile insurance that purports to limit the liability of another insurer to the portion of any loss that may be sustained outside the amount for which the corporation is liable under this Part, nothing in section 73 affects the validity of that policy; and where such a policy is in effect, the liability of the corporation under this Part shall be ascertained as if no other insurance were in effect. M.R. 22/98 Time of payment 75 The corporation shall pay insurance moneys for which it is liable within 30 days after the statutory declaration has been received by it, or in the event of an appraisal under subsection 70(1), within 15 days after the award is rendered.
