DECISION

Adjudicator: Brian Eyolfson Date: October 30, 2012 Citation: 2012 HRTO 2069 Indexed as: Lio v. Toronto (City)

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 June 7, 2011.

2In Interim Decision 2011 HRTO 2267 issued December 9, 2011, the Tribunal deferred proceeding with this Application pending the conclusion of ongoing grievance proceedings.

3On September 6, 2012, the Tribunal wrote to the applicant, the respondent and the intervenor by regular mail and e-mail. The applicant was asked to inform the Registrar in writing within 30 days of the date of the letter whether the grievance 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.

4The applicant has not responded to the Tribunal’s September 6, 2012 letter and the time for doing so has now elapsed. The Tribunal’s letter to the applicant has not been returned as undeliverable.

5In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
