John v. Ontario (Attorney General), 2017 HRTO 1510

Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario

B E T W E E N:

Darren John Applicant

-and-

Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Ontario as represented by the Ministry of the Attorney General Respondent

DECISION

Adjudicator: David Muir Date: November 17, 2017 Citation: 2017 HRTO 1510 Indexed as: John v. Ontario (Attorney General)

1On July 7, 2017 the respondent filed a Request for Summary Hearing (“Request”) to which the applicant did not respond.

2In a Case Assessment Direction issued on October 23, 2017 the applicant was directed to deliver and file his submissions in response to the issue raised in the Request within 14 days of the date of the Case Assessment Direction failing which the Tribunal would determine the issue based on the material already in its file or may dismiss the Application as abandoned.

3The applicant did not comply with these Directions and has not contacted the Tribunal with respect to this case seeking an extension of time to respond to the issues raised by the respondent.

4In the circumstances the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and it is dismissed.

5I would also observe that as the Application largely concerns the conduct of a Crown Attorney and the terms of bail order imposed upon him, it is also beyond the jurisdiction of the Tribunal to decide and should be dismissed for that reason as well. See Surh v. Toronto (City), 2009 HRTO 1700; Inward v. Toronto (City), 2010 HRTO 2127; and Theisen v. Ontario (Attorney General), 2009 HRTO 1781.

6For all of these reasons the Application is dismissed.
