DECISION
Adjudicator: David Muir
Indexed as: Harty v. Hamilton Wentworth Catholic District School 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 November 20, 2014.
2On December 1, 2014 the Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application (“NOID”) because it appeared that the Applicant may be outside of the Tribunal’s jurisdiction to decide. The applicant was directed to provide her written submissions in response to the NOID before December 31, 2014. The applicant was further advised that if she did not provide written submissions by the required time the Tribunal may make its decision based only on the information in the Application or may consider the failure to respond as an abandonment of the Application and dismiss it for that reason.
3The NOID was sent to the applicant again by email on December 15, 2014 and January 16, 2015 at which time the applicant was directed to provide his submission in response to the NOID by January 30, 2015.
4The applicant did not respond to the NOID and the time for doing so has passed.
5In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application.
6The Application is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, this 5th day of March, 2015.
