The plaintiff pharmacy brought a motion to amend its statement of claim to add four new defendants and a new cause of action for conspiracy against the existing landlord defendants.
The plaintiff alleged the landlords conspired with the proposed defendants to sell the commercial property to them and oust the plaintiff.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the proposed amended claim did not disclose a viable cause of action for conspiracy against the landlords, as they were merely exercising their legal right to sell their property to a bona fide third-party purchaser.
