DECISION

Adjudicator: Brian Eyolfson Date: September 3, 2015 Citation: 2015 HRTO 1173 Indexed as: Ryerson v. Workplace Safety and Insurance Board

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 April 22, 2015.

2On July 22, 2015 the Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application (“NOID”) on the basis that the Application appears to be outside the Tribunal’s jurisdiction. The applicant was directed to respond to the issues raised in the NOID by no later than August 21, 2015. The NOID advised the applicant that a failure to respond to the NOID by the required time may be considered an abandonment of the Application and the Application might be dismissed for that reason.

3To date, the applicant has not responded to the NOID, and the time for doing so has passed. The NOID was delivered to the applicant by regular mail at the address provided by the applicant in the Application and has not been returned as undeliverable.

4In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application.

5The Application is dismissed.
