DECISION

Adjudicator: Sophie Martel Date: October 19, 2017 Citation: 2017 HRTO 1386 Indexed as: Anson v. Coaching Association of Canada

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 May 23, 2017.

2On August 25, 2017, 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 September 25, 2017. 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 sent to the applicant by regular mail and email. There is no indication that the applicant did not receive it.

4The applicant has not responded to the NOID and the time for doing so has now passed.

5In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application.

6The Application is dismissed.
