Summary:

Appellant was injured in a workplace accident. He applied to the Workers’ Compensation Board, which, in a series of decisions, awarded the appellant some compensation. Appellant filed a petition for judicial review of the Board’s decisions, seeking additional compensation, but did not further pursue the petition. Appellant instead filed and pursued a civil claim against the respondents for frustrating his efforts to obtain proper compensation from the Board. The chambers judge struck the claim on the basis that the appellant was barred from pursuing damages for work place injuries subject to the process in the Workers Compensation Act. The appellant seeks reinstatement of the claim.
