DECISION
Adjudicator: Naomi Overend Date: June 29, 2012 Citation: 2012 HRTO 1301 Indexed as: Rappaport v. Thomson Reuters Canada
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 28, 2012.
2On May 8, 2012, the Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application (“NOID”) on the basis that the Application appears to be outside the Tribunal’s power to decide. The applicant was directed to respond to the issues raised in the NOID by no later than June 7, 2012. The NOID advised the applicant that failure to respond to the NOID may be considered an abandonment of the Application and it might be dismissed for that reason.
3The applicant has not responded to the NOID and the time for doing so has now passed.
4In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application.
5The Application is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, this 29th day of June, 2012.
