DECISION

Adjudicator: Bruce Best

Date: May 6, 2016

Citation: 2016 HRTO 607

Indexed as: SS v. Children’s Aid Society of Toronto

1This Application was filed under s.34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c.H.19, as amended (the “Code”) on February 22, 2016.

2On March 23, 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 April 12, 2016. 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 NOID was mailed to the applicant at the address provided, and has not been returned undeliverable. The 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 and the Application is dismissed.
