2In a Case Assessment Direction issued to the parties on August 15, 2013 the applicant was alerted to the fact that she has failed to comply with the obligations under Rules 16 and 17 to deliver to every other party and file with the Tribunal a witness list, witness statements, and copies of documents the party intends to rely upon no later than 45 days prior to the hearing. The applicant was further advise that there were serious consequences for her case if this step not taken which were set out at the end of the Case Assessment Direction.

3The applicant had been previously advised of her obligations under the Tribunal’s process in the Notice of Confirmation of Hearing which was sent to her on February 21, 2013.

4The applicant was directed to immediately file the materials required under Rules 16 and 17, or confirm that she has no documents to file and will be her only witness and if the applicant had not done so within 7 days of the date of the Case Assessment Direction, the Application may be dismissed as abandoned.

5The applicant has not complied with the Tribunal’s Directions above or communicated with the Tribunal in any way in many months. It appears that the applicant has abandoned this Application and accordingly it must be dismissed.
