INTERIM DECISION
Adjudicator: Geneviève Debané Date: September 7, 2012 Citation: 2012 HRTO 1690 Indexed as: Verma v. Supply Chain Management
WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS
Renu Verma, Applicant Self-represented
Introduction
1This is an Application filed under s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”). On June 28, 2012, the Registrar issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss (“NOID”) that stated that it was the Tribunal’s intention to dismiss the Application, based on lack of jurisdiction, because the Application did not set out any specific incidents of alleged discrimination that were related to a Code.
2On August 28, 2012, the applicant, in response to the NOID, made detailed submissions in which she alleges discrimination on the basis disability, family status and marital status. Having reviewed these materials it is therefore, not plain and obvious that the Application falls outside the Tribunal’s jurisdiction and I decline to dismiss it at this stage. This is not a final decision in respect of the Tribunal’s jurisdiction over this matter.
3As provided for in Rule 13.5, the Application and the materials in the Tribunal’s file will now be delivered to the respondent, together with a Notice of Application requiring a Response within 35 days.
4I am not seized.
Dated at Toronto, this 7th day of September, 2012.
