Endorsement

[1] In my role as case management judge in this matter, as designated by McEwen J. as delegate of the Regional Senior Justice, I have reviewed the statement of claim in this matter. The plaintiff Ms. Larande is not represented by counsel nor by the Public Guardian and Trustee who represents her son and co-plaintiff Mr. MacLeod. It is not clear whether Ms. Larande is participating in this action or even knows that it has been brought in her name.

[2] The statement of claim does not make clear at all the capacity in which Ms. Larande claims or the substance of her claims against the defendants. Ms. Larande ought to be provided with an opportunity to make submissions as to why her action should not be dismissed for being frivolous, vexatious, or an abuse of process.

[3] The court makes the following order:

a. Pursuant to subrule 2.1.01(3)(1), the registrar is directed to give notice to the plaintiff Tammy Doris Bridget Laronde in Form 2.1A that the court is considering making an order under Rule 2.1.01 dismissing the action;

b. Pending the outcome of the written hearing under rule 2.1 or further order of the court, the plaintiff Tammy Doris Bridget Laronde’s action is stayed pursuant to s.106 of the Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.C.43;

c. The registrar shall accept no further filings from the plaintiff Tammy Doris Bridget Laronde excepting only the plaintiff’s written submissions if delivered in accordance with rule 2.1.01(3);

d. In addition to the service by mail required by 2.1.01(4) rule, the registrar is to serve a copy of this endorsement and a Form 2.1A notice on the plaintiff Tammy Doris Bridget Laronde at her address for service provided in the statement fo claim and counsel for the defendants by email if it has their email addresses.
