Adjudicator: Ena Chadha

Date: May 30, 2011

Citation: 2011 HRTO 1028

Indexed as: Adiizua v. Kriska Transporation Group

1The applicant filed an Application on January 26, 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 issued 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 the respondent appeared to be a federally regulated business. The Tribunal directed the applicant to provide written submissions on or before May 16, 2011 addressing the jurisdictional issue 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.
