The defendant requested that the plaintiff's action be dismissed as frivolous, vexatious, or an abuse of process under Rule 2.1.01 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
The self-represented plaintiff had filed two statements of claim relating to employment insurance benefits and the termination of his federal public service employment.
The court dismissed the defendant's request, finding that while the claims might be struck for disclosing no reasonable cause of action under Rule 21, they did not meet the strict threshold for dismissal under Rule 2.1.01.
