DECISION

Adjudicator: David Muir

Date: March 30, 2015

Citation: 2015 HRTO 413

Indexed as: Anand v. Coppley Corp.

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 June 8, 2011.

2In Interim Decision 2011 HRTO 2055 issued on November 10, 2011, the Tribunal deferred proceeding with this Application pending the conclusion of another ongoing legal proceeding.

3On January 2, 2013, the Tribunal wrote to the applicant. The applicant was asked to inform the Registrar in writing within 30 days of the date of the letter whether the other proceedings remained ongoing and, if possible, to indicate when they were expected to be completed. 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 responded to this correspondence advising that the other proceeding was completed, but did not file a Form 10 Request for Order as directed to do in the Interim Decision.

4On March 23, 2015 the Tribunal emailed all parties directing the applicant to advise the Tribunal and the other parties what her intentions were with respect to the Application. The applicant was advised that a response was required before March 26, 2015, failing which the Application may be dismissed as abandoned.

5The applicant has not responded to the Tribunal’s March 23, 2015 email.

6In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
