Decision

Adjudicator: David Muir Date: April 25, 2013 Citation: 2013 HRTO 699 Indexed as: Vetrenko v. Securitas Canada Limited

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 January 20, 2012.

2In Interim Decision 2012 HRTO 1111 issued June 6, 2012, the Tribunal deferred proceeding with this Application pending the conclusion of ongoing grievance proceedings.

3On March 14, 2013 the Tribunal wrote to the applicant via regular mail and e-mail. Both the letter and e-mail were sent to a residential address and an e-mail address provided by the applicant. The applicant was asked to inform the Registrar in writing within 30 days of the date of the letter whether the grievance proceedings remained ongoing and, if possible, to indicate when it was expected to be completed. The letter advised the applicant that failure to provide the requested information might result in the Tribunal dismissing the Application as abandoned.

4The applicant has not responded to the Tribunal’s March 14, 2013 letter and the time for doing so has now passed. The Tribunal’s letter to the applicant has not been returned as undeliverable.

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