The defendant Fladgate brought a motion to strike or dismiss the plaintiffs' claims against it for conversion, detinue, and negligence regarding certain drill cores.
The plaintiffs did not respond to the motion.
The court found that the Statement of Claim failed to plead material facts supporting the intentional torts or a duty of care.
Furthermore, the claims were statute-barred as they related to consulting reports delivered in 2008 and 2011, well beyond the two-year limitation period.
The action against Fladgate was dismissed with costs fixed at $9,000.
