The court struck the plaintiffs' claims against individual corporate directors and officers for failing to plead an independent cause of action.
The plaintiffs sued Queens Walk Inc. and several individual defendants for breach of contract, inducing breach of contract, deceit, misrepresentation, and negligence related to a commercial condominium purchase agreement.
The individual defendants moved to strike all claims against them, and Queens Walk Inc. moved to strike the punitive damages claim.
The court granted the individual defendants' motion to strike all claims without leave to amend, finding no reasonable cause of action for personal liability.
The court also granted Queens Walk Inc.'s motion to strike the punitive damages claim, but with leave to amend, as the plaintiffs failed to plead sufficient material facts to support it.
Motion to add corporate officer as defendant partially granted; claims for intentional interference and negligent misrepresentation refused.
The plaintiff brought a motion to add Imad Rachid as a defendant and amend her statement of claim in an action arising from a residential construction contract with the corporate defendant.
The proposed defendant opposed being added, arguing there was no tenable basis for personal liability against him as a corporate officer.
The court granted leave to add the proposed defendant and make certain amendments related to breach of contract and negligence.
However, the court refused amendments alleging intentional interference with economic relations and negligent misrepresentation, finding the plaintiff failed to plead the necessary elements or allege that the proposed defendant acted outside his role as a directing mind of the corporation.
