The self-represented plaintiff brought an action against multiple defendants, including the Peel Police, Toronto Police, OIPRD, and the City of Toronto, alleging negligent investigation, conspiracy, bad faith, and other torts arising from the handling of his stolen vehicle report and previous criminal convictions.
The defendants brought motions to strike the statement of claim for disclosing no reasonable cause of action and being frivolous and vexatious, as well as a motion for summary judgment.
The court struck the claims against the moving defendants, finding that the police and OIPRD owed no private duty of care to the plaintiff, the conspiracy allegations lacked material facts, and the claims regarding past convictions were impermissible collateral attacks.
Summary judgment was also granted dismissing claims of theft and Charter breaches during an arrest, as there was no genuine issue requiring a trial.
