DECISION

Adjudicator: David Muir Date: July 30, 2014 Citation: 2014 HRTO 1143 Indexed as: Guido v. Kott Lumber

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 February 4, 2014.

2On May 6, 2014 the Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application (“NOID”) because it appeared that the Application may be outside of the Tribunal’s jurisdiction to decide. The applicant was directed to provide his written submissions in response to the NOID before June 5, 2014. The applicant was further advised that if he did not provide written submissions by the required time the Tribunal may make its decision based only on the information in the Application or may consider the failure to respond as an abandonment of the Application and dismiss it for that reason.

3On May 21, 2014 the applicant provided an updated mailing address to the Tribunal. On May 26, 2014 the Tribunal issued a second NOID because it appeared that the applicant may be outside of the Tribunal’s jurisdiction to decide. The applicant was directed to provide his written submissions in response to the NOID before June 25, 2014. The applicant was further advised that if he did not provide written submissions by the required time the Tribunal may make its decision based only on the information in the Application or may consider the failure to respond as an abandonment of the Application and dismiss it for that reason.

4The applicant did not respond to the NOID and the time for doing so has long passed.

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

6The Application is dismissed.
