The defendants brought a motion to strike several causes of action from the plaintiff's wrongful dismissal and workplace harassment claim.
The court struck the claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, failure to provide a safe work environment, harassment, and discrimination under the Human Rights Code, finding they were not properly pleaded as independent torts or lacked material facts.
The claim against the employer for failure to provide a safe work environment was also struck.
The court allowed the claim for intentional infliction of mental suffering against one individual defendant to proceed.
The plaintiff was granted leave to amend the struck claims.
