On a Rule 2.1 referral from the registrar’s office, the court considered whether an action arising from unsuccessful attempts to challenge a will was frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process.
The plaintiff had sued additional parties including former lawyers and an official examiner.
The court held the action appeared suitable for the abbreviated Rule 2.1 process and directed that the plaintiff be given notice and an opportunity to file written submissions.
The action was stayed pending the outcome of the written hearing or further order.
