The self-represented plaintiff brought an action against the Regional Municipality of Peel and the Crown regarding the administration of his Ontario Works and ODSP benefits.
The defendants brought motions to strike the amended statement of claim for disclosing no reasonable cause of action.
The court found that the plaintiff's complaints should have been pursued through the statutory appeal routes under the respective social assistance acts and the Human Rights Code, rather than by way of a civil action.
Furthermore, the pleadings contained only bald allegations without supporting material facts.
The motions were granted, the amended statement of claim was struck, and the action was dismissed without costs.
