DECISION

Adjudicator: David Muir

Date: June 10, 2015

Citation: 2015 HRTO 772

Indexed as: Davis v. Region of Waterloo

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 November 3, 2014.

2On April 25, 2015 the Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application ("NOID") because it appeared that the Applicant may be outside of the Tribunal's jurisdiction to decide. The applicant was directed to provide his written submissions in response to the NOID before May 25, 2015. The applicant was further advised that if he 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 NOID was sent to the applicant by email and regular mail and was not returned to the Tribunal.

4The applicant did not respond to the NOID and the time for doing so has long passed.

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

6The Application is dismissed.
