The plaintiff, a self-represented former worker for the defendants, filed a 64-page Statement of Claim alleging constructive dismissal, harassment, and misclassification.
The defendants brought a motion to strike the claim for failing to comply with the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The court found the claim lacked paragraph numbers, failed to specify damages amounts for each head of relief, pleaded evidence rather than material facts, and contained unnecessary repetition and superfluous schedules.
The court struck the claim in its entirety with leave to amend within 30 days and awarded the defendants $25,000 in costs.
