The defendants brought motions to strike the self-represented plaintiff's statements of claim in two actions without leave to amend.
The claims arose from a failed transaction for the purchase of dental practices and sought a total of $90 million in damages against various professional advisors, family members, and employers of the intended purchasers.
The court found the pleadings to be scandalous, frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process, noting they were replete with irrelevant historical facts, inappropriate definitions, and inflammatory allegations.
The court concluded the actions were commenced for the improper purpose of harassing the defendants and struck the claims without leave to amend, awarding substantial indemnity costs to the defendants.
