The defendant in a proposed class action brought a motion to strike the plaintiff's expert evidence filed in support of certification.
The proposed class action alleged the defendant trust company breached its duties regarding syndicated mortgages held in registered savings accounts.
The court granted the motion to strike the expert's evidence in its entirety, finding the expert was not qualified, lacked independence, acted as a partisan advocate, and improperly provided legal argument and opinions on ultimate issues beyond his expertise.
