INTERIM DECISION
Adjudicator: Paul Aterman Date: April 9, 2013 Citation: 2013 HRTO 586 Indexed as: Mickle v. Chrysler Canada
WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS
Sharon Mickle, Applicant David Wylupek, Counsel
Chrysler Canada, Respondent Clifford Hart, Counsel
Background
1This Application, alleging discrimination in employment because of disability, was filed in October of 2010. On consent of the parties the Tribunal deferred consideration of the Application pending the outcome of an appeal the applicant had launched in relation to entitlement to benefits under the Canada Pension Plan.
2That appeal was withdrawn, but the Application was further deferred in 2011 to enable the applicant to obtain her Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (“WSIB”) file. The applicant has since received her WSIB file and has requested that the Application be re-activated.
3The respondent consents to re-activation on condition that it be allowed 35 days to file a Response, to which the applicant agrees.
Order
4The Application is to be re-activated.
5The respondent has 35 days from the date of this Interim Decision to file its Response, in accordance with Rule 8 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure. In completing its Response, the respondent is reminded to indicate whether it is interested in trying to resolve this Application through mediation.
Dated at Toronto, this 9th day of April, 2013.
