Endorsement

[1] This motion was referred to me by the registrar’s office pursuant to rule 2.1.01(7).

[2] It appears on the face of the Statement of Claim that, except for the claim of negligence against the police services board related to the detention of the plaintiff (paras. 20-26, 30-31 and 52 and the related damages pleading at paras. 47-49), the claim may be frivolous and vexatious. The plaintiff should therefore be called upon to make submissions as to why the claim should not be dismissed at this time.

[3] On reviewing the material forwarded by the registrar, 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 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’s action is stayed pursuant to s.106 of the Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.C.43[^1];

c. The registrar shall accept no further filings in this action 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 and the defendants, or their counsel by email if it has their email addresses.

Madam Justice J.T. Akbarali
