Decision

Adjudicator: Brian Eyolfson Date: October 9, 2013 Citation: 2013 HRTO 1700 Indexed as: Link v. Ontario Recreational Vehicles Dealers Association

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 July 11, 2013.

2On July 19, 2013, the Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application (“NOID”), by regular mail, on the basis that the Application appears to be outside the Tribunal’s power to decide. The applicant was directed to respond to the issues raised in the NOID by no later than August 19, 2013. The NOID advised the applicant that a failure to respond to the NOID may be considered an abandonment of the Application and it might be dismissed for that reason.

3On September 4, 2013, the Tribunal also delivered the NOID to the applicant by email. The applicant was directed to respond to the issues raised in the NOID by no later than September 18, 2013, and again advised that a failure to respond to the NOID may be considered an abandonment of the Application and it might be dismissed for that reason.

4The applicant has not responded to the NOID and the time for doing so has now passed. The NOID was sent to the applicant by both regular mail and email at the addresses the applicant provided in the Application. The NOID was not returned as undeliverable.

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

6The Application is dismissed.
