The appellant appealed a summary judgment order dismissing his action for malicious prosecution, false arrest, and false imprisonment against the respondents.
The Court of Appeal upheld the motions judge's finding that there was no genuine issue for trial regarding malicious prosecution, as the appellant failed to adduce evidence showing an absence of reasonable and probable cause or malice.
The Court also dismissed the false arrest and imprisonment claims, finding that the police had lawful grounds for the arrest and authorization to enter the dwelling under a search warrant.
