Decision
1This is an Application dated November 12, 2009, made under s. 34 of the Ontario Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c.H-19, as amended (the “Code”). On March 7, 2011, the Tribunal sent a Notice of Confirmation of Hearing to the parties advising that a hearing was scheduled for this matter on August 3 and 4, 2011. The notices were not returned to the Tribunal as undeliverable.
2On August 3, 2011, the hearing convened. The applicant did not appear. I stood the matter down for 30 minutes to await her arrival or some explanation of her failure to attend. No communication was received by the Tribunal. The respondent attended with counsel and one witness. At 10 am, the hearing was terminated.
3I am satisfied that the applicant had notice of the hearing.
4In the circumstances, the Application is deemed to have been abandoned and the Application is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, this 11th day of August, 2011.
“Signed by”
Maureen Doyle
Vice-chair
