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 January 22, 2014.

2On April 11, 2014, the Tribunal issued a Notice of Mediation to the parties confirming that mediation of the Application would take place on August 6, 2014, at 9:30 a.m. at 655 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario. The Notice was mailed to the applicant’s address at the address provided in the Application and was not returned as undeliverable.

3The applicant did not attend the scheduled mediation session on August 6, 2014, and did not communicate with the Tribunal to explain the failure to attend.

4On August 7, 2014, the Tribunal wrote the applicant directing that the applicant advise it of her intentions with respect to the Application. The letter warned the applicant that a failure to respond to the letter in writing within ten days might be deemed an abandonment of the Application.

5As of the date of this Decision the applicant has not responded to the Tribunal and the Tribunal’s correspondence to the applicant has not been returned.

6In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
