BEFORE: J.F. Diamond J.

Endorsement
[1] This action was referred to me by the registrar’s office pursuant to Rule 2.1.01(7) of the Rules of Civil Procedure following receipt of a written request under Rule 2.1.01(6) submitted by the lawyers for the defendant Children’s Aid Society of London and Middlesex incorrectly named in the style of cause as Children’s Aid Society of London (CASL).
[2] A review of the Statement of Claim discloses that the plaintiffs claim damages totaling over $970,000,000.00 (in the aggregate) from the defendants for what the plaintiffs describe as a malicious campaign by the defendants to destroy the plaintiffs.
[3] This alleged campaign involved child welfare proceedings that were heard by the defendant Judge Carolyn J. Jones. The plaintiffs’ claims appear to be similar to those discussed by Justice Beaudoin in Raji v. Downtown Legal Services, 2015 ONSC 5770 (S.C.J.). It is trite to state that it is an abuse of process to bring further legal proceedings in respect of a matter that has already been determined by the Court.
[4] In addition, both Judge Jones and the Children’s Aid Society of London and Middlesex are protected from civil lawsuits. As such, it appears that this action may be frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process on its face.
[5] On reviewing the material forwarded by the registrar, I make the following order:
a. Pursuant to Rule 2.1.01(3)(1), the registrar is directed to give notice to the plaintiffs in Form 2.1A that the court is considering making an order under Rule 2.1.01 dismissing this action;
b. Pending the outcome of the written hearing under Rule 2.1 or further order of the court, the action is stayed pursuant to section 106 of the Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.C.43;
c. The registrar shall accept no further filings in this action other than the plaintiffs’ written submissions if delivered in accordance with Rule 2.1.01(3); and,
d. In addition to the service by mail required by Rule 2.1.01(4), the registrar is to serve a copy of this endorsement and a Form 2.1A notice on the plaintiffs and counsel for the defendants by email if it has their email addresses.
Diamond J.
