DECISION
Adjudicator: Dawn J. Kershaw
Indexed as: Forde v. Service 4 Appliances Inc.
1This is an Application under s.34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (“the Code”). A hearing is scheduled for September 19, 2014.
2On March 6, 2014, the Tribunal sent the parties a Notice of Confirmation of Hearing. The Notice of Confirmation of Hearing directed the parties to comply with Rules 16 and 17 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure by providing one another with copies of their arguably relevant documents by March 27, 2014 and by exchanging with one another and filing with the Tribunal the documents they intended to rely upon at the hearing, a list of their witnesses and a summary of their witnesses’ anticipated evidence by no later than August 5, 2014 (45 days before the first scheduled day of hearing).
3The applicant did not do so.
4Accordingly, in an August 19, 2014 Case Assessment Direction, the Tribunal directed the applicant to provide the materials required under the Rules by no later than August 26, 2014 failing which the Application may be dismissed by the Tribunal as abandoned.
5That deadline has now passed and the applicant has not complied with the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure and/or the August 19, 2014 Case Assessment Direction.
7In the circumstances, it appears that the applicant has abandoned the Application.
ORDER
8The Application is dismissed as abandoned. The September 19, 2014 hearing date is cancelled.
Dated at Toronto, this 4th day of September, 2014
