DECISION

Adjudicator: Naomi Overend

Date: March 24, 2016

Citation: 2016 HRTO 389

Indexed as: E.R. v. Toronto Catholic Children’s Aid Society

Introduction

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 July 7, 2015. The Application was incomplete and it was not until December 2, 2015 that the Tribunal received all the requested information.

2On February 1, 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 March 1, 2015. The NOID 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.
