DECISION

Adjudicator: Naomi Overend Date: December 29, 2015 Citation: 2015 HRTO 1743 Indexed as: Wingate v. A-Line Greeting Cards

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 October 1, 2015.

2On November 16, 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 power to decide. The applicant was directed to respond to the issues raised in the NOID by no later than December 16, 2015. The NOID advised the applicant that failure to respond to the NOID may be considered an abandonment of the Application and it might be dismissed for that reason.

3A follow-up email was sent to the applicant on December 18, 2015, with the NOID attached, and a new deadline of December 21, 2015 was set.

4The applicant has not responded to the NOID or the follow-up email and the time for doing so has now passed.

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

6The Application is dismissed.
