Condominium Authority Tribunal
Date: February 27, 2023
Case: 2022-00691N
Citation: Maida v. Halton Standard Condominium Corporation No. 717, 2023 ONCAT 27
Order under section 1.44 of the Condominium Act, 1998.
Member: Dawn Wickett, Member
The Applicant: Anna Maida, Self-Represented
The Respondent: Halton Standard Condominium Corporation No. 717, Represented by Erik Savas, Counsel
Dismissal Order
1The Applicant filed an application with the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT). The case proceeded to Stage 2 - Mediation on December 16, 2022.
2Under Rule 34.3 of the CAT’s Rules of Practice, the CAT can close a case in Stage 2 - Mediation if the Applicant does not move their case to Stage 3 after having the opportunity to do so for more than 15 days.
3The Applicant in this case was given the opportunity to move the case to Stage 3 on February 8, 2023. The Applicant did not respond to the message I posted in the CAT-ODR system where I granted her permission to move this matter to Stage 3. I note, when I granted the Applicant permission to move this matter to Stage 3, I informed her that she had 15 days to pay the fee required to move the matter forward, and if she did not pay the fee within the prescribed time, her matter would be dismissed.
4The Applicant did not acknowledge my granting her permission to move this matter to Stage 3. As such, on February 13, 2023, a Tribunal staff member reached out to the Applicant. The staff member spoke with the Applicant and reminded her of the deadline. The Applicant advised the staff member that she would respond to my messages in the CAT-ODR system as soon as possible. As of the date of this order, the Applicant has not responded to my messages in the CAT-ODR system, and she has not paid the fee required to move this matter to Stage 3.
5Given the Applicant did not opt to pay the fee required to move this matter to Stage 3 by the deadline of February 23, 2023, I am ordering this case be dismissed.
