DECISION
Adjudicator: Brian Eyolfson Date: June 3, 2010 Citation: 2010 HRTO 1265 Indexed as: Francois v. Camwood Properties
1This is an Application filed on October 20, 2009, under section 34 of Part IV of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended.
2On January 8, 2010, the Tribunal issued a Notice of Application to the parties at the mailing addresses provided by the applicant in his Application. The Notice of Application delivered to the applicant was returned indicating the applicant had “moved”. On March 4, 2010 the Tribunal again delivered the Notice of Application, along with the respondents’ Response, to the applicant by regular mail and by email at the addresses provided by the applicant in his Application. The Tribunal’s correspondence sent by regular mail was again returned and it appears that the Tribunal’s email correspondence did not reach the applicant.
3The Tribunal delivered a letter dated March 31, 2010 to the applicant, which stated, in part, as follows:
On March 25, 2010 we reached you by telephone and you advised us that you have moved and that you did receive the documents we sent you but you returned it to us. You also advised that you will provide updated contact information to the Tribunal; to date, we have not received any information from you.
This letter was also returned to the Tribunal indicating the applicant had “moved”.
4Rule 5.4 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure provides that the Tribunal may finally determine an Application without further notice to any person who cannot be contacted by the Tribunal according to the contact information provided to the Tribunal by that person.
5The applicant filed his Application with the Tribunal on October 20, 2009. Beginning with the Tribunal’s Notice of Application, dated January 8, 2010, all of the Tribunal’s correspondence with the applicant, whether by regular mail or email at the addresses provided by the applicant in his Application, has been returned. In conversation with Tribunal staff on March 25, 2010, the applicant advised that he would provide updated contact information to the Tribunal. To date, the applicant has not done so, nor has he otherwise communicated with the Tribunal.
6In the circumstances, the Tribunal deems the Application abandoned and it is accordingly dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, this 3rd day of June, 2010.
