The defendants brought motions to strike the plaintiffs' statement of claim for professional negligence.
The plaintiffs alleged negligence against a lawyer and a capacity assessor involved in a guardianship application for the plaintiff's mother.
The court struck the statement of claim in its entirety, finding it disclosed no reasonable cause of action against the capacity assessor or the lawyer for two of the plaintiffs.
The court also found the pleading was scandalous, frivolous, and vexatious.
The corporate plaintiff's claim was additionally struck for failing to be represented by counsel.
One plaintiff was granted leave to amend the claim against the lawyer defendants only.
