Question juridique clé
Whether the insurer had to enter into the request for procedural revision based on the new medical report.
Solution extraite
The new report could constitute a new and material fact capable of undermining the basis of the prior objection decision, so the revision request had to be examined.
Motifs extraits
The report by Dr. E. differed materially from the earlier medical assessment relied on by the insurer: it diagnosed an interspinal injury rather than a symptomatic disc hernia and rested on a different account of the accident mechanism. This could alter the causal assessment underlying the earlier decision.
