DECISION
Adjudicator: Ena Chadha
Indexed as: Davis v. Sarnia Golf and Curling Club
1The applicant filed an Application on February 9, 2011 under s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”).
2On April 14, 2011, the Tribunal sent out a Notice of Intent to Dismiss (“Notice”) to the applicant. The Notice advised the applicant that the Application appeared to be outside the Tribunal’s jurisdiction because it was filed more than one year after the last incident of discrimination. The Tribunal directed the applicant to provide written submissions on or before May 16, 2011 addressing the jurisdictional issue of delay as set out in the Notice.
3The Tribunal’s Notice further indicated that, if the applicant did not file written submissions by the required time, the Tribunal may consider the failure to respond as an abandonment of the Application and dismiss the Application for that reason.
4The applicant did not respond to the Tribunal’s Notice and did not file written submissions in accordance with the deadline set out in the Notice.
5In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application. The Application is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, this 27th day of May, 2011.
