2In Interim Decision 2009 HRTO 1919 issued November 10, 2009, the Tribunal deferred proceeding with this Application pending the conclusion of ongoing arbitration proceedings.

3On May 14, 2012, the Tribunal wrote to the applicant’s counsel. The applicant was asked to inform the Registrar in writing within 30 days of the date of the letter whether the arbitration proceedings remained ongoing and, if possible, to indicate when they were expected to be completed. The letter went on to warn the applicant that failure to provide the requested information might result in the Tribunal dismissing the Application as abandoned.
