Question juridique clé
Whether the medical expert was biased or should have been rejected, and whether the insured’s right to be heard was violated
Solution extraite
No valid grounds for recusal or a hearing violation were shown; the expert report could be relied on.
Motifs extraits
The expert’s regular work for insurers did not itself indicate bias. The insured had been informed about supplemental questions, knew from prior correspondence that she could object, and raised no substantiated recusal grounds before the court.
