DECISION

Adjudicator: David Muir Date: April 8, 2015 Citation: 2015 HRTO 455 Indexed as: Randell v. Ornamental Mouldings Inc.

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 December 8, 2010.

2In Interim Decision 2011 HRTO 1441 issued on August 2, 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 did not respond to this correspondence.

4On March 23, 2015 the Tribunal emailed all parties to remind them of the January 2, 2013 letter and to advise that a response was required before March 26, 2015, failing which the Application would 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.
