The applicants brought an application under s. 140 of the Courts of Justice Act to declare the respondent a vexatious litigant.
The respondent had commenced multiple proceedings against his employer and its employees regarding alleged workplace exposure to hazardous substances, despite his claims having been previously dismissed by the WSIB and the courts as an abuse of process.
The court found that the respondent had persistently and without reasonable grounds instituted vexatious proceedings and conducted them in a vexatious manner.
The application was granted, and the respondent was prohibited from instituting or continuing proceedings without leave of the court.
