Respondent
DECISION
Adjudicator: Brian Cook
Indexed as: Chen v. Toronto Police Services
1This Application was scheduled for a summary hearing which had to be re-scheduled. The Tribunal wrote to the parties by email on February 12, 2016, asking the parties to provide dates that they were available so that the hearing could be re-scheduled.
2The respondent provided dates but no communication was received from the applicant. The Registrar sent a letter to the applicant on March 9, 2016. It reminded the applicant of the February 12, 2016 request for dates and advised the applicant that no communication had been received from her. The letter stated that if the applicant wished to continue with the Application, she must communicate with the Tribunal about her availability for a hearing. The applicant was advised:
If you do not respond to this letter by March 16, 2016 the HRTO may deem the Application to be abandoned and close the file.
3To date, the Tribunal has not received any communication from the applicant in response to the Registrar’s communications to her. In the circumstances, it appears that the applicant has abandoned the Application and it is dismissed on that basis.
Dated at Toronto, this 22nd day of April, 2016.
