Landmark Inn Respondent

INTERIM decision

Adjudicator: Judith Keene Date: May 11, 2010 Citation: 2010 HRTO 1056 Indexed as: Robinson v. Landmark Inn

1The applicant filed an Application under section 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”), on June 19, 2009. A hearing date in February 2010 was set. The applicant did not comply with her disclosure obligations under the Rules, and she requested an adjournment. Two Case Assessment Directions were issued, and a teleconference with the parties was held on February 8, 2010.

2The hearing date was changed to accommodate Code-related needs. The new dates for the hearing are July 6 and 7, 2010.

3During the teleconference, the process and need for disclosure was explained to the applicant through her representative, and a date for disclosure was agreed upon. Pursuant to a further Case Assessment Direction dated February 8, 2010, the applicant was required to provide her list of witnesses, statements of the witnesses’ expected evidence, and copies of any materials or documents on which she intended to rely to the Tribunal, with confirmation that these materials had been delivered to the respondent, by March 30, 2010. To date, the Tribunal has received no materials from the applicant. The respondent has complied with its obligations under Rules 16 and 17 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure.

4An application to the Tribunal starts a legal proceeding. The applicant is advised that unless the Tribunal receives her list of witnesses, statements of the witnesses’ expected evidence, and copies of any materials or documents on which she intends to rely, with confirmation that these materials have been delivered to the respondent, by May 27, 2010, the Application will be considered abandoned and will be dismissed by the Tribunal.
