A law firm acting on a contingency fee basis was discharged by its clients, who retained successor lawyers.
The original law firm sued the successor lawyers for inducing breach of contract and intentional interference with economic relations, alleging they assisted the clients in avoiding payment of fees.
The motion judge struck the claim for failing to disclose a reasonable cause of action.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the statement of claim contained only bald, unsupported assertions of professional misconduct and no facts capable of supporting the alleged causes of action.
