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

2The parties consented to take part in a mediation scheduled for May 25, 2017. All parties were notified of the date, time and location of the mediation by Notice of Rescheduled Mediation dated March 28, 2017. The Tribunal sent the Notice of Mediation to the applicant by regular mail and email.

3The applicant did not attend the mediation and did not contact the Tribunal before or after the mediation to explain her absence. By Registrar’s Letter dated June 2, 2017, sent by regular mail, the Tribunal advised the applicant that, by June 12, 2017, she was required to inform the Tribunal and the respondents in writing whether she intended to proceed with the Application. In the Registrar’s Letter, the Tribunal specifically advised the applicant that if she did not respond to the Registrar’s Letter, the Tribunal might dismiss his Application as abandoned.

5The applicant did not respond to the Registrar’s letter, nor has she communicated with the Tribunal in any way in response to the letter.
