DECISION

Adjudicator: Brian Cook

Date: February 11, 2013

Citation: 2013 HRTO 245

Indexed as: Ruffolo v. Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario

Introduction

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 October 16, 2012.

2On November 26, 2012 the Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application (“NOID”) 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 January 10, 2012 [sic]. The NOID advised the applicant that failure to respond to the NOID may be considered an abandonment of the Application and it might be dismissed for that reason.

3As of the date of this decision the applicant has not responded to the NOID and the time for doing so has now passed.

4In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application.

5The Application is dismissed.
