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 March 16, 2010.

2On February 7, 2011, the Tribunal issued a Notice of Mediation to the parties confirming that mediation of the Application would take place on March 29, 2011 at Gillespie Reporting Services, 130 Slater Street, Suite 200, Ottawa, Ontario. The Notice was mailed to the applicant’s address provided in the Application and was not returned as undeliverable.

3Neither the applicant nor the respondent attended the scheduled mediation session on March 29, 2011. The applicant did not advise the Tribunal prior to the mediation date that she could not attend.

4On May 9, 2011, the Tribunal wrote the applicant directing that she advise it of her intentions with respect to the Application. The letter warned the applicant that if she failed to respond to the letter by May 19, 2011 the Tribunal might deem the Application to be abandoned.

5As of the date of this Decision, the applicant has not provided a written response to the Tribunal’s May 9, 2011 letter and the Tribunal’s correspondence to her has not been returned.

6In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
