Leave to proceed with bad faith claims against the Crown denied for lack of reasonable possibility of success.
The self-represented plaintiff brought a motion for leave under section 17 of the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act to proceed with claims of fraudulent misrepresentation and misfeasance in public office against the Crown.
The claims arose from her employment with the Ministry of the Attorney General and statements made to her long-term disability insurer.
The court found that the plaintiff failed to establish a reasonable possibility of success, as there was no evidence that the Crown made false representations, knew they were false, or intended for the plaintiff to act upon them.
Leave was denied for all claims except operational negligence, for which the Crown waived the leave requirement.
