The plaintiffs, former executives of the Durham College student association (DCSI), sued Durham College and DCSI following their termination by DCSI.
Durham College brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the claims against it, arguing it had no involvement in the termination and owed no duty to supervise DCSI's employment relationships.
The court granted the motion, finding that the governing legislation prohibited Durham College from interfering with DCSI's normal activities, precluding any duty of care.
The court also dismissed the plaintiffs' claims for negligent misrepresentation, intentional infliction of mental distress, specific performance, and discrimination due to lack of evidence and insufficient pleadings.
