DECISION

Adjudicator: Jennifer Khurana
Date: April 20, 2016
Citation: 2016 HRTO 517
Indexed as: Dixon v Isidoro R. Grossi Professional 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 August 5, 2009.

2On March 25, 2010, the Tribunal issued Interim Decision 2010 HRTO 656, which deferred the Application pending the conclusion of an investigation by the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC).

3On January 21, 2016, the Registrar wrote to the parties asking the applicant to advise of the status of the LSUC proceeding within 30 days. The letter warned the applicant that failure to respond might result in the dismissal of the Application as abandoned. The applicant did not respond to this letter.

4On February 25, 2016, the Tribunal emailed the parties attaching the Registrar’s letter. The applicant was warned that failure to respond by March 3, 2016 may result in her Application being dismissed as abandoned. The Tribunal learned it had sent the email to an incorrect address and resent the email to the applicant on March 22, 2016. The response deadline was extended to April 1, 2016.

5The applicant has not responded and the time for doing so has passed. The Registrar’s letter and the March 22 email have not been returned as undeliverable.

6In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
