PEHT Case No: 0151-15-PE
Pay Equity Office, Applicant v Harry Rosen Inc., Respondent
BEFORE: Mary Anne McKellar, Chair
DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL: June 29, 2015
This is a referral under section 24(5) of the Pay Equity Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.7, as amended (“the Act”).
Section 4.2(1) of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act permits a panel of one to decide this matter.
A Pre-Hearing Conference into this matter is scheduled to take place on July 7, 2015.
The Pay Equity Office (“the Office”) has written to the Tribunal indicating that the parties are attempting to resolve this matter and requesting that it be adjourned sine die on consent, to be brought back on upon two weeks’ notice.
Certainly I am prepared to adjourn this matter in the circumstances. If the reference to two weeks’ notice is intended to mean that the Tribunal will schedule a Pre-Hearing Conference to be held within two weeks of being advised that a party seeks to proceed with the matter, the Tribunal will endeavour to meet that timeline, but cannot commit to it.
Having regard to the agreement of the parties, the Board adjourns this application sine die for a period of not more than nine months. Unless within that time any party requests that the Board proceed with the matter, it will be deemed abandoned by the applicant without any further notice to the parties.
Should any party advise the Registrar that they wish to proceed with this matter, the Registrar will schedule a Pre-Hearing Conference on a peremptory basis as soon after that request as is practicable.
The Pre-Hearing Conference scheduled for July 7, 2015 is cancelled.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 29th day of June, 2015.
“Mary Anne McKellar”
Mary Anne McKellar, Chair
