1This is an Application filed under section 34 of Part IV of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19 as amended (the “Code”), which alleges discrimination in employment on the ground of family status as well as reprisal.

2In an Interim Decision dated February 25, 2010, 2010 HRTO 381, the Tribunal directed the applicant to file submissions by March 5, 2010 to address the issue of whether the Tribunal had the jurisdiction to consider the allegations raised in his Application. The applicant has failed to file submissions as directed.

3In a Case Assessment Direction dated March 11, 2010 the Tribunal directed the applicant to advise the Tribunal within ten days of his intentions to continue with his Application and to explain why he did not file his submissions in accordance with the Interim Decision. The Case Assessment Direction states that if the applicant does not comply with its directions the Tribunal will deem the applicant to have abandoned the Application and the Application will be dismissed. The applicant has not responded to the Case Assessment Direction as directed.

4Given these circumstances the Tribunal dismisses the Application as abandoned.
