WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS

Rubina Khan, Applicant Marie Liberatore, Representative

1This is an Application filed under s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”), alleging discrimination with respect to reprisal in employment.

2On May 15, 2015, the Tribunal sent the applicant a Notice of Intent to Dismiss (“NOID”). The NOID advised the applicant that the narrative in the Application, in which the incidents of alleged discrimination are set out, fail to identify any specific acts of discrimination within the meaning of the Code.

3The NOID instructed the applicant to make written submissions to respond to the issue of whether the Application identified any specific acts of discrimination within the meaning of the Code. The submissions were to be filed at the Tribunal on or before June 15, 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.

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.
