Carolyn V. Forbes v. BDO Dunwoody Ltd., and Ministry of Labour
File No.: 3281-00-ES Employment Practices Branch File No.: 53001151 Before: David A. McKee, Vice-Chair. Decision of the Board: July 10, 2001
1The Board has received another letter from the applicant, a copy of which is attached to this decision. The decision of July 9, 2001 is revoked pursuant to section 114(1). The hearing set for June 11, 2001 is adjourned sine die.
2This matter will not be relisted for hearing until the applicant states to the Board in writing that she is ready to proceed. When she is ready to proceed, the applicant is directed first to telephone the Registrar and ascertain what dates might be available for a hearing. She is then directed to telephone counsel for the responding party and ascertain which of those dates is available to him and to his client and witnesses. Any date which is set must be one to which the responding party agrees. Once the applicant has determined a date on which she is ready to proceed and to which the responding party consents, she is to advise the Registrar in writing of the fact that the parties have agreed to the date and that she undertakes to proceed on that date.
3All correspondence to the Board must be copied to counsel for the responding party. In future, any correspondence which is not copied to him will not be considered by the Board.
4With respect to the second last paragraph of the applicant’s July 9 letter, the Board cannot provide advice to any party with respect to how to conduct a hearing. Since the earlier decision is revoked, the applicant should be ready to proceed on whatever day is set with whatever witnesses she proposes to call ready to testify.
5If this matter is not listed for hearing within one year of the date of this decision, it will be deemed to be terminated without further notice to any party by the Board.
"David A. McKee"
