The plaintiffs commenced an action seeking $9 million in damages and various public remedies following the suspension of a student and subsequent unsuccessful human rights complaints.
Several defendants submitted written requests under Rule 2.1.01 of the Rules of Civil Procedure to have the action dismissed as frivolous, vexatious, or an abuse of process.
The court found that the pleadings exhibited common attributes of vexatious litigation, including attempting to re-litigate issues already decided by the Human Rights Tribunal and seeking relief beyond the court's jurisdiction.
The court ordered that the action be stayed and directed the Registrar to issue a notice to the plaintiffs that the court is considering dismissing the action.
