Amanpreet Gill v. The Bank of Nova Scotia, 2009 HRTO 1106

1The applicant filed an Application under s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”), on April 23, 2009. On May 19, 2009, the Registrar sent a Notice of Intent to Dismiss to the applicant, copied to the respondent, advising that the completed Application appears to be outside the Tribunal’s jurisdiction because the respondent appears to be a federally regulated business or service. The Registrar’s Notice requested submissions from the applicant as to why the applicant believed that the Application raised matters within the Tribunal’s jurisdiction, indicated that the Tribunal would review the applicant’s submissions before deciding whether to dismiss or proceed with the Application, and directed that submissions must be received within 30 days from May 19, 2009. To date, the Tribunal has not received submissions from the applicant

2Following delivery of the Notice, the Tribunal received a letter from the respondent’s representative that stated that the respondent is governed by the Canadian Human Rights Act. There is no evidence before me to suggest the contrary.

3It is apparent that the employment relationship between the applicant and respondent is not governed by the Code. Accordingly, the Application is dismissed pursuant to Rule 13.1 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure.
