The letter went on to warn the applicant that failure to provide the requested information might result in the Tribunal dismissing the Application as abandoned. The applicant did not respond.

The applicant was requested to respond to the July 22, 2015 correspondence by September 4, 2015. The applicant did not respond and has not communicated with the Tribunal in any way for some time.
5In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
