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.
