The plaintiff commenced two actions (in 2018 and 2022) against the Crown and the Firearms Safety Education Service of Ontario containing overlapping allegations regarding the suspension of his firearms instructor license.
The defendants brought motions to strike or stay the 2022 Action.
The court struck the 2022 Action against the Crown for failure to provide statutory notice, struck the claims based on 2017 and 2018 events as statute-barred, and stayed the remaining duplicative claims as an abuse of process.
The plaintiff was granted leave to amend the 2018 Action to incorporate the claims from the 2022 Action.
