Adjudicator: Naomi Overend Date: August 2, 2016 Citation: 2016 HRTO 1017 Indexed as: Bonsu v. United Steelworkers International Union
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 22, 2016.
2On May 25, 2016, the Tribunal issued a Notice of Intent to Dismiss the Application ("NOID") on the basis that the Application appears to be outside the Tribunal's power to decide. The applicant was directed to respond to the issues raised in the NOID by no later than June 24, 2016. The NOID, which was sent by email, advised the applicant that failure to respond to the NOID may be considered an abandonment of the Application and it might be dismissed for that reason.
3The applicant has not responded to the NOID and the time for doing so has now passed.
4In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application.
5The Application is dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, this 2nd day of August, 2016.
