The Applicant, James Arnold Self-Represented
The Respondent, Wellington Standard Condominium Corporation No. 173
Represented by Charlene Lloyd, Agent
DISMISSAL ORDER
1The Applicant filed an application with the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT). The case proceeded to Stage 2 - Mediation on July 13, 2023.
2Under Rule 34.3 of the CAT’s Rules of Practice, the CAT can close a case in Stage 2 - Mediation if the CAT determines that the Applicant has abandoned their case.
3After the Applicant decided to proceed to a Stage 3—Tribunal Decision, they were given two weeks to pay the fee and move the case to Stage 3. The Applicant did not accept the invitation to move the case to Stage 3, nor did they pay the filing fee or communicate any intention to continue their case. As such, I find that this case has been abandoned.
4Accordingly, I order that this case be dismissed.
