Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

An insured person challenged the accident insurer's refusal to enter into the opposition because the opposition had not been motivated within the deadline. The court held that the opposition was indeed unmotivated in time and that the insurer therefore correctly declared it inadmissible. The appeal was dismissed.

Omnilex headnote

LAA 105; opposition procedure in social insurance; timeliness and motivation of opposition: an opposition that is not reasoned within the prescribed deadline may be declared inadmissible. Where the party fails to cure the lack of motivation in time, the administrative authority is entitled to issue a non-entry decision; the reviewing court will uphold that decision if the procedural default is established.
