Sandra Calhoun v. Canada Post Corporation, 2015 HRTO 576

Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario

B E T W E E N:

Sandra Calhoun Applicant

-and-

Canada Post Corporation Respondent

DECISION

Adjudicator: David Muir Date: May 6, 2015 Citation: 2015 HRTO 576 Indexed as: Calhoun v. Canada Post Corporation

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 March 6, 2015.

2On March 12, 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 11, 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 did not respond to the NOID and the time for doing so has long passed.

4In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application.

5I also find that the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to deal with this case as it relates to the delivery of mail by Canada Post, a matter exclusively within the jurisdiction of Canada and therefore outside of the jurisdiction of the Tribunal.

6The Application is dismissed.
