DECISION

Adjudicator: Ena Chadha

Date: September 23, 2010

Citation: 2010 HRTO 1940

Indexed as: Oliver v. Hampton Inn

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 September 8, 2009 and the respondent filed a Response on November 3, 2009.

2On May 4, 2010, the Tribunal sent out a Notice of Mediation to the parties advising that mediation in this matter would be held on July 30, 2010. Both parties previously had indicated their willingness to attend mediation. The Notice of Mediation also indicated that if the parties were unable to attend on the scheduled mediation date the parties were required to notify the Tribunal's Registrar within five days of receiving the Notice. No such notification was received from the applicant.

3The applicant failed to attend the mediation on July 30, 2010. The respondent attended on that date and waited with the Tribunal mediator for the applicant to appear. Given the applicant's absence, the mediation was cancelled.

4By correspondence dated August 24, 2010, the Tribunal notified the applicant that she must advise the Tribunal of her intentions and that if she did not respond within 10 days of the date of the correspondence, the Tribunal would deem the Application abandoned and the close its file. As of the date of this Decision, the applicant has not responded to the Tribunal's correspondence and the time for doing so has elapsed.

5In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application.

6The Application is dismissed.
