DECISION

Adjudicator: Ena Chadha

Date: October 29, 2012

Citation: 2012 HRTO 2064

Indexed as: Aghdasi v. Sanders Steel Inc.

1The applicant filed this Application on August 21, 2012, alleging discrimination contrary to the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended.

2On September 12, 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 jurisdiction as the Application was filed more than one year after the last incident of discrimination. The applicant was directed to respond to the issues raised in the NOID by no later than October 2, 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.

5Accordingly, the Application is dismissed.
