Counsel for the applicant, in a letter filed with the Board on October 19, 2001, advised that she and counsel for the Employment Standards Officer and Minister of Labour had agreed to request an extension of the adjournment “for an appropriate period to enable the parties to consult with the Board in terms of its October 23, 2000 order and to attempt to effect a settlement of the matter”.
3 The Board, at the request of the applicant and with the consent of the Inspector and Ministry of Labour, hereby adjourns this application sine die for a period not exceeding one year from the date of this decision. Unless a party to this application requests that the Board proceed with the application within that one year period, the application will be deemed to have been dismissed without any further notice to the parties.
