ICBC admits liability; argues they are not at fault for MVA in Court.
As of November 2018, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (“ICBC”) ICBC was prepared to defend the action on the basis of a global admission of liability. The insurer subsequently changed its approach, and decided to globally deny liability. The admission of liability on behalf of Mr. Nijjar was not a mistake of fact, but rather the result of a breakdown of communication between ICBC and defence counsel. ICBC and defence counsel then failed to bring their mistake to the attention of the plaintiff’s counsel in a timely manner.
