Decision
[1] File # P-2021-1522 relates to a job competition that took place in mid-2021. File #
P-2022-2613 relates to a job competition that took place in late 2021/early 2022.
These matters were held in abeyance pending the outcome of File # P-2019-1091
between the same parties. In a June 15, 2023 decision, the Board dismissed that
complaint.
[2] On March 21, 2024, the Complainant was directed to provide his responses in
writing to the Employer’s preliminary objections to hear and determine the matters
in File #s P-2021-1522 and P-2022-2613. His responses were to be filed with the
Board with a copy to the Employer no later than April 19, 2024. Mr. Paul did not
do so, nor did he contact the Board about the status of his responses.
[3] In a decision dated June 3, 2024, the Board directed the Complainant to contact
the Board on or before the close of business on June 17, 2024 to provide his
reasons in writing for not filing his responses to the Employer’s preliminary
objections on time and for not contacting the Board about the status of those
submissions. The Board was clear that if the Complainant did not respond as
directed, the Board would dismiss his complaints (File #s P-2021-1522 and P-
2022-2613).
[4] The Board has received no communication from the Complainant. The Board thus
considers these complaints to have been abandoned.
[5] Having regard to the Board’s clear direction of June 3, 2024 and the fact that the
Complainant has failed to contact the Board or file any submissions as directed
within the time frame provided, the complaints in Board File #s P-2021-1522 and
P-2022-2613 are now dismissed.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 28th day of June 2024.
“Andrew Tremayne”
Andrew Tremayne, Vice-Chair
