The plaintiff, a former employee of Sun Life, sued his former manager for fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of contract, and intentional interference with contractual relations after his employment was terminated.
The defendant manager moved to strike the statement of claim for disclosing no reasonable cause of action.
The court granted the motion, finding that the plaintiff failed to plead that the manager's actions exhibited an identity or interest separate from the employer, which is required to establish personal liability.
The statement of claim was struck in its entirety without leave to amend.
