Adjudicator: Brian Eyolfson

Date: October 6, 2014

Citation: 2014 HRTO 1484

Indexed as: Karagias v. The Corporation of Norfolk County

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 May 24, 2013.

2In Interim Decision 2013 HRTO 1696, issued October 8, 2013, the Tribunal deferred proceeding with this Application pending the conclusion of ongoing grievance proceedings.

3On July 21, 2014, the Tribunal wrote to the applicant. The applicant was directed 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.

4To date, the applicant has not responded to the Tribunal's July 21, 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.

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