INTERIM DECISION
Adjudicator: Brian Eyolfson
Indexed as: Beebe v. McCague Borlack LLP
1The applicant filed this Application on April 23, 2010, under section 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”), alleging discrimination in employment. This matter is currently scheduled for a hearing on March 19 and 20, 2012. This Interim Decision addresses the applicant’s Request for an Order During Proceedings (“Request”) to amend the name of the corporate respondent.
2The Application named “McCague Borlack LLP” as a respondent. On October 20, 2011, the applicant delivered to the respondent, and filed with the Tribunal, a Request to change the corporate respondent’s name to “William Paul McCague and Howard Brian Borlack c.o.b. for McCague Borlack LLP”. The applicant submits that the respondent’s website establishes that both William Paul McCague and Howard Brian Borlack are partners in the firm McCague Borlack LLP, and thus its directing minds. The applicant also submits that the respondent’s website confirms that the respondent’s address is the same as the address listed in the Application, and that the Tribunal should be satisfied that William Paul McCague, Howard Brian Borlack, and MacCague Borlack LLP have had proper notice of these proceedings
3To date, the respondent has not responded to the applicant’s Request, and the time for doing so has passed.
4In the circumstances, the applicant’s Request to amend the name of the respondent is granted and the style of cause is amended accordingly.
5I am not seized of this matter.
Dated at Toronto, this 23rd day of December, 2011.
