The plaintiffs sued the City of Barrie and several of its employees for misfeasance in public office and intentional interference with economic relations.
The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants unlawfully interfered with their negotiations to lease a portion of their property to Rogers Communications for a cell phone tower.
The court dismissed the action, finding that the city employees did not engage in deliberate unlawful conduct or intend to harm the plaintiffs.
The court also found that the plaintiffs failed to prove causation or damages, as Rogers had other options and the lease contained an escape clause.
