DECISION

Adjudicator: Eric Whist

Date: February 14, 2014

Citation: 2014 HRTO 209

Indexed as: Waugh v. Regis Holdings (Canada), Ltd.

1This is an Application filed under section 34 of Part IV of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”).

2The Tribunal issued a Case Assessment Direction (“CAD”) on February 6, 2014, alerting the applicant to the fact that if she was still intending to proceed with her hearing before the Tribunal she needed to comply with her obligations under Rules 16 and 17 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure. Under Rules 16 and 17 the applicant was required to deliver to the respondent and file with the Tribunal a witness list, witness statements and copies of documents that she intends to rely on no later than 45 days prior to the hearing. The CAD directed the applicant to file these materials within seven days of the date of the CAD and indicated that otherwise the Application may be dismissed as abandoned.

3The applicant has not complied with the Tribunal’s direction to file the required materials nor has she communicated with the Tribunal to explain her inability to do so or to request an extension of the time limit stated in the CAD.

4Under the circumstances and in view of the applicant’s non-compliance with the Tribunal’s direction, the Application is hereby dismissed as abandoned.
