DECISION

Adjudicator: Paul Aterman
Date: May 8, 2014
Citation: 2014 HRTO 655
Indexed as: Abadi v. Shopify Inc.

1This Application, alleging discrimination with respect to employment because of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin and ethnic origin contrary to the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”), is scheduled to be heard on June 19, 2014, in Ottawa.

2The Tribunal issued a Case Assessment Direction on April 28, 2014 because the applicant had not yet disclosed his arguably relevant documents to the respondent, as required by Rule 16.1 of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure. The applicant was directed to do so by May 5, 2014. He was told that if he did not do so by that deadline, then his Application could be dismissed as abandoned.

3The deadline in the Case Assessment Direction has come and gone and the applicant has not complied with the Tribunal’s direction.

4I have no reason to think that the applicant did not receive the Case Assessment Direction, as it was sent to him by mail and email at the addresses he provided to the Tribunal.

5As the applicant has not complied with the Tribunal’s direction in accordance with the May 5, 2014 deadline, I conclude that he has abandoned his Application.

6The Application is dismissed.
