The defendants brought a motion to strike the self-represented plaintiff's statement of claim in its entirety and for particulars.
The plaintiff's action arose from his arrest for criminal harassment, which was later withdrawn upon him entering into a peace bond.
The court found the statement of claim to be a verbose, disorganized diatribe that failed to properly plead material facts for causes of action including false arrest, assault, intimidation, abuse of power, negligent investigation, and defamation.
The court struck the majority of the pleading, granting leave to amend for some claims and striking others without leave, and ordered the plaintiff to provide the requested particulars.
