Dave Mason v. Atomic Energy Commission of Canada Limited, 2014 HRTO 1298

Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario

Between:

Dave Mason Applicant

-and-

Atomic Energy Commission of Canada Limited Respondent

Decision

Adjudicator: Paul Aterman Date: September 3, 2014 Citation: 2014 HRTO 1298 Indexed as: Mason v. Atomic Energy Commission of Canada Limited

1This Application alleges discrimination with respect to employment because of place of origin, marital status, age and association with a person identified by a prohibited ground, contrary to the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the "Code").

2On July 17, 2014, the Tribunal sent the applicant 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 named an organisation that appears to be a federal undertaking as the respondent to the Application. The Tribunal has no jurisdiction over employment issues arising in federal undertakings.

3The applicant was invited to make submissions on the jurisdictional issue by August 16, 2014. He was advised that if he failed to do so, the Tribunal could decide to dismiss his Application based only on the information before it, or it could consider his failure to provide submissions as an abandonment of his Application. The NOID has not been returned as undeliverable to the Tribunal.

4The applicant has failed to make any submissions and the time for doing so has now passed. I have no reason to think that he did not receive the NOID.

5As the applicant has failed to respond to the NOID, I determine that he has abandoned his Application.

Order

6The Application is dismissed.
