The complainant alleged sexual harassment against the respondents.
After several adjournments and scheduling issues, the complainant failed to attend the scheduled hearing and left the country without providing contact information or a return date.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission requested an adjournment sine die, as it could not call evidence without the complainant.
The Board of Inquiry denied the adjournment and dismissed the complaint, noting the respondent had waited over five years for a resolution and the Board had jurisdiction to proceed in the complainant's absence under section 7 of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act.
