2937-00-OH Steven C. King, Applicant v. Carr Industrial Inc., Responding Party.
BEFORE: Timothy W. Sargeant, Vice-Chair, and Board Members J. A. Rundle and R. R. Montague
APPEARANCES: No one appeared on behalf of the applicant; Moira Homes appeared on behalf of the responding party.
DECISION OF THE BOARD; May 4, 2001
[1]. This is an application under section 50 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. 0.1, as amended (the “Act”).
[2]. A hearing was held on May 3, 2001. No one appeared on behalf of the applicant. The hearing was scheduled to commence at 9:30 a.m. There was no indication in the file that the applicant’s Notice of Hearing had been returned or that the applicant had requested an adjournment. The hearing did not commence until 10:00 a.m. and still at that time the applicant or a representative had not yet appeared.
[3]. The Board heard the uncontradicted evidence of Ms. Moira Howes, a representative of Carr Industrial Inc.
DISPOSITION
[4]. The Board is satisfied having heard the uncontradicted evidence of Ms. Howes that the termination of the applicant was not a dismissal that contravened the provisions of section 50 of the Act.
[5]. The application is therefore dismissed.
