Introduction

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 April 11, 2011.

2On January 16, 2012 the Tribunal issued a Notice of Mediation to the parties confirming that mediation of the Application would take place on April 19, 2012 at 655 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Notice was mailed to the applicant’s address provided in the Application and was not returned as undeliverable.

3The applicant did not attend the scheduled mediation session on April 19, 2012 and did not communicate with the Tribunal to explain the failure to attend.

4On May 2, 2012 the Tribunal wrote the applicant directing that she advise it of her intentions with respect to the Application. The letter warned the applicant that a failure to respond to the letter in writing by May 14, 2012 might be deemed an abandonment of the Application.

5As of the date of this Decision the applicant has not responded to the Tribunal and the Tribunal’s correspondence to him has not been returned.

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