The defendants brought a motion to strike the plaintiff's statement of claim, which alleged wrongful/constructive dismissal, negligence, harassment, discrimination, and intentional infliction of mental suffering against his former employer, the NHLPA, its insurer, and several individual employees.
The court struck the 62-page statement of claim in its entirety for failing to plead material facts concisely and for pleading evidence and irrelevant facts.
The court dismissed the action against the insurer and all individual defendants except one manager, finding no reasonable cause of action against them.
The plaintiff was granted leave to amend his claim to properly plead constructive/wrongful dismissal, negligence, and human rights violations against the NHLPA, and intentional infliction of mental suffering against the one manager.
