DECISION

Adjudicator: Jo-Anne Pickel
Date: August 30, 2017
Citation: 2017 HRTO 1124
Indexed as: Kissinger v. Human Resources Professionals Association

1The applicant filed this Application alleging discrimination contrary to the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990 c. H. 19, as amended.

2On June 26, 2017, the Tribunal sent the applicant a Notice of Intent to Dismiss (“NOID”) advising her that the Application appeared to be outside the Tribunal’s jurisdiction. The NOID was sent to the applicant at the regular mail address and the email address set out in the Application. The NOID noted that a review of the narrative setting out the incidents of alleged discrimination failed to identify any specific acts of alleged discrimination by the respondent.

3The Tribunal directed the applicant to file submissions in response to the NOID by July 26, 2017. It advised the applicant that, if she did not file any submissions, the Tribunal would make its decision based only on the information in the Application and might consider her failure to respond as an abandonment of the Application against the respondent.

4The applicant did not respond to the NOID and the time for doing so has passed.

5In the above circumstances the Application is dismissed as abandoned.
