INTERIM DECISION

Adjudicator: Leslie Reaume

Date: March 3, 2015

Citation: 2015 HRTO 255

Indexed as: Murray v. Mills

1These Applications were deferred pending conclusion of a related civil action by a decision of the Tribunal on January 7, 2015 (2015 HRTO 20).

2On January 28, 2015, the respondent filed a request that the Applications be reactivated and set down for a summary hearing with a view to having the Tribunal dismiss them for no reasonable prospect of success.

3This is essentially a Request for Reconsideration of my Interim Decision deferring these Applications. The Applications have been deferred pending the outcome of the civil proceeding. Once the civil proceeding has concluded, any of the parties may seek to have the Applications reactivated.

4Until the civil proceeding has come to a conclusion, the parties are directed to refrain from filing any further material with the Tribunal in relation to these Applications. Portions of the respondent’s materials are inconsistent with the Tribunal’s Rule 1.12.1 on courteous and respectful commiunication. In addition, the respondent has been repeatedly advised by the Tribunal that the applicants have withdrawn their consent to receive communications from him by email. The respondent is directed to cease emailing the applicants and to use the alternative mailing address for communications associated with these Applications, namely, [address redacted].

5For the reasons set out above, the Tribunal orders:

a. The respondent’s requests to reactivate the Applications and for a Summary Hearing are dismissed;

b. The parties may seek reactivation of the Applications at the conclusion of the civil proceeding;

c. Until the civil proceeding has concluded, the parties will refrain from filing any further materials with the Tribunal in relation to these Applications;

d. The respondent will cease emailing the applicants in relation to these Applications and use the mailing address provided for service of documents;

e. The respondent is directed to comply with Rule 1.12.1 with respect to any future materials filed with the Tribunal;

f. Any outstanding Requests will be dealt with if and when the Applications are reactivated.

6I am not seized of this matter.
