APPEARANCES

Lillian Dixon, Applicant ) Self-represented

Harding Display Corp., Respondent ) Kevin Mason, Representative

VPI Inc., Respondent ) J. Curtis McDonnell, Counsel

1This Application was filed on September 1, 2010 pursuant to s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”), and alleges discrimination on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin and ethnic origin in employment.

2Having reviewed the materials in the Application, the Tribunal issued a Case Assessment Direction on May 30, 2011, directing that a Summary Hearing by teleconference be scheduled to assess whether the Application has no reasonable prospect of success.

3The Summary Hearing was held by teleconference on March 13, 2012. During the course of the Summary Hearing, the applicant stated that she did not wish to proceed to further hearing days that would be scheduled in the event that the Tribunal were not to decide that there was no reasonable prospect of success. She therefore requested that the Application be withdrawn. The respondents consented, and I permitted the request.

[4] Given that the applicant’s request to withdraw was granted, the Tribunal’s file in this matter will be closed.
