The court struck Daniel Hartman's claim against the Attorney General of Canada and the Minister of Health, which alleged negligence and misfeasance in public office following the death of his son after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
The court found that the government’s public health actions and communications were directed to the public at large and did not create a private law duty of care to individuals.
The claim was dismissed as it was plain and obvious that it could not succeed, even with proposed amendments.
