The plaintiff real estate agent sued the defendant for a commission under a listing agreement after introducing a purchaser.
The defendant cancelled the property sale and instead structured the transaction as a sale of shares by its parent company to the purchaser.
The plaintiff moved to amend its claim to add the parent company, plead an indirect sale and breach of good faith, and add an oppression claim under the Business Corporations Act.
The defendant moved to strike the claim for disclosing no reasonable cause of action.
The court granted the plaintiff's motion to amend and dismissed the defendant's motion to strike, finding that the proposed claims were tenable at law and not plain and obvious to fail.
