The court declared Glycobiosciences Inc. and Kevin Drizen vexatious litigants under section 140 of the Courts of Justice Act.
The decision reviews a lengthy history of litigation by Glyco and Drizen, noting repeated unsuccessful actions, disregard for adverse rulings, and failure to pay costs.
The court imposed restrictions on their ability to commence or continue proceedings in Ontario without leave, and stayed all ongoing matters.
The reasons also address the legal test for vexatious litigant status and the balancing of access to justice with the need to protect the court system from abuse.
