The defendants brought motions to strike the self-represented plaintiff's statement of claim, which sought over $2.2 million in damages related to real estate properties the plaintiff did not own.
The plaintiff, who had recently been declared a vexatious litigant in a separate proceeding, sought an adjournment, which was denied.
The court struck the statement of claim without leave to amend, finding it disclosed no reasonable cause of action, the plaintiff lacked capacity to sue regarding properties he did not own, and the action was an abuse of process.
Costs were awarded to the defendants on a partial and substantial indemnity basis.
