As it built a case that Gary Sopher had not suffered catastrophic injuries in his 2012 motorcycle accident, Primmum Insurance dispatched an unusual expert team. It included neuropsychologist Kerry Lawson and an assistant who would conduct “psychometric” testing of the Oakville, Ont., man. The aide also happened to be Lawson’s university-aged daughter, studying in an unrelated field and apparently easily distracted. “I found all of the above to be very disturbing,” Snider said as he ruled in the victim’s favour. Evidence suggesting she and Sopher’s daughter were engrossed in conversation calls into question “any and all” results, said the arbitrator.
