-and-

Curtis Desroches Respondent

DECISION

Adjudicator: Brian Eyolfson Date: October 1, 2014 Citation: 2014 HRTO 1468 Indexed as: Carson v. Desroches

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 June 15, 2011.

2In Interim Decision 2011 HRTO 2102, issued November 21, 2011, the Tribunal deferred proceeding with this Application pending the conclusion of ongoing grievance proceedings.

3On March 11, 2014 the applicant advised the Tribunal that she would like to withdraw the Application, and the Tribunal directed the applicant to deliver and file a Request to Withdraw.

4As the Tribunal did not subsequently hear from the applicant, the Tribunal wrote to the applicant on July 22, 2014. The applicant was asked to inform the Tribunal, in writing, within 30 days of the date of the letter, whether the grievance process remained ongoing and, if possible, to indicate when it was expected to be completed. The letter also indicated that failure to provide the requested information, as directed, might result in the Tribunal dismissing the Application as abandoned.

5To date, the applicant has not responded to the Tribunal’s July 22, 2014 correspondence, and the time for doing so has passed. The Tribunal’s correspondence was sent to the applicant at the address provided in the Application and has not been returned as undeliverable.

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