A northern Saskatchewan couple who were injured in a 2009 accident, but had some benefits denied by SGI, will see the matter go back to court.
Stanley and Shirley Ballantyne were struck by a truck while crossing the street and both were injured.
SGI had refused the Ballantyne’s income replacement benefits on the basis their injuries did not prevent them from returning to work, a decision that was upheld by the Automobile Injury Appeals Commission.
Recently, the Ballantynes took their matter before the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal.
An appeals judge found that their case had merit and has order new hearings to take place.
