Introduction

1The applicant filed an Application under s. 34 of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, as amended, on January 26, 2017.

2On June 6, 2017 the Tribunal issued a Notice of Mediation to the parties confirming that the mediation of the Application would take place on October 27, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. at Ottawa, Ontario. The Notice was mailed to the applicant’s address at the address provided in the Application and was not returned as undeliverable.

3The applicant did not attend the scheduled mediation session on October 27, 2017 and did not communicate with the Tribunal to explain the failure to attend.

4On November 1, 2017 the Tribunal sent the applicant a letter by regular mail and e-mail directing that the applicant advise it of her intentions with respect to the Application. The letter warned the applicant that a failure to respond to the letter in writing by November 14, 2017 might be deemed an abandonment of the Application.

5As of the date of this Decision the applicant has not responded to the Tribunal and the Tribunal’s correspondence to the applicant has not been returned.

6In the circumstances, the applicant is deemed to have abandoned the Application and the Application is dismissed.
