DECISION
Adjudicator: David Muir
Indexed As: Inoue v. Showa Canada Inc.
1This is 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 citizenship, colour, ethnic origin, place of origin and race.
2The Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss this Application (“NOID”) on July 30, 2013 because it appeared that the Application may be outside of the Tribunal’s jurisdiction because it was filed more than one year after the last alleged incident of discrimination. The NOID directed the applicant as follows:
You must provide written submissions responding to the issues identified above. You must file your written submissions on or before August 29, 2013.
The HRTO will consider your submissions and may decide whether to dismiss your Application or provide further directions regarding the next steps in this proceeding. If you do not file written submissions by the required time the HRTO will make its decision based only on the information in your Application or may consider the failure to respond as an abandonment of your Application and dismiss the Application for that reason.
3The applicant has not responded to the NOID nor communicated with the Tribunal in any way. In all of the circumstances it appears that the applicant has abandoned the Application and accordingly it is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, this 30th day of September, 2013.
“Signed By”
