DECISION

Adjudicator: Naomi Overend

Date: April 16, 2015

Citation: 2015 HRTO 486

Indexed as: Peterson v. Toker

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 July 3, 2009.

2By Interim Decision dated March 5, 2010, the Tribunal deferred proceeding with this Application pending the conclusion of ongoing grievance proceedings.

3On December 28, 2012 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 the Tribunal’s letter.

4A follow-up letter was sent to the applicant on March 23, 2015, requiring the applicant to respond by April 2, 2015, and again advising the applicant that if she failed to do so, the Application may be dismissed as abandoned. The applicant has not responded to the Tribunal’s correspondence and the time for doing so has now passed.

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