DECISION
Adjudicator: David Muir
Indexed as: McArthur-Calhoun v. Smith
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 February 10, 2015.
2On March 9, 2015, the Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application (“NOID”) because it appeared that the Application 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 April 8, 2015. 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 applicant requested an extension of time to file her submissions which was granted but did not ultimately respond to the NOID and the time for doing so has passed.
4In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application.
5The Application is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, this 6th day of May, 2015.

David Muir
