The plaintiff commenced an action against 24 defendants, including police officers, Crown attorneys, defence lawyers, and judicial officers, alleging false arrest, malicious prosecution, and other wrongs arising from his alleged work as a police agent.
The court reviewed the statement of claim under the summary procedure in Rule 2.1.01.
Finding that the claims against judicial officers were barred by absolute immunity and claims against several other justice system participants were legally untenable, the court struck those claims without leave to amend.
The balance of the statement of claim was struck with leave to deliver a fresh as amended statement of claim complying with the rules of pleading.
