Introduction

1This is an Interim Decision in respect of an Application filed under section 34 of Part IV of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”), alleging discrimination with respect to employment because of disability.

2In a previous Interim Decision, (2012 HRTO 1599), the Tribunal deferred this Application, pending a decision of the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) as to whether it has jurisdiction over the respondent.

3On October 12, 2012, the applicant filed a Request for an Order that the Application be reactivated under Rule 14.3, copied to the respondent and attaching a Record of Decision from the CHRC declining to deal with the applicant’s complaint on the basis that the respondent did not fall under federal jurisdiction.

4In view of the above, the Application will be reactivated. The respondent has filed some documents, but has not yet been required to file a Response. The respondent must file a response within 30 days of the date of this Interim Decision.

ORDER
