The plaintiff brought a motion to strike numerous allegations in the defendant's Statement of Defence and Counterclaim on the basis that they were frivolous, vexatious, irrelevant, or unnecessary.
The court reviewed the impugned paragraphs, which related to shareholder loans, salaries, pre-contractual negotiations, instructions given by a principal, and comments by corporate counsel.
The court struck most of the challenged paragraphs as irrelevant or unnecessary.
The court also struck the defendant's oppression claim for failing to plead the necessary elements, but granted leave to amend.
