Endorsement
[1] The registrar’s office referred this action to me pursuant to rule 2.1.01(7) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194 following receipt of a written request from lawyers for the defendant, Dominion Lending Centres Inc., under rule 2.1.01(6).
[2] I have reviewed the statement of claim and it appears to me that it may be frivolous and vexatious. The plaintiffs should have the opportunity to make submissions as to why the action should not be dismissed in its entirety at this time, pursuant to rule 2.1.01(1). I make the following order:
a. pursuant to subrule 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 the action as frivolous or vexatious or otherwise an abuse of the process of the court; b. pending the outcome of the written hearing under rule 2.1 or further order of the court, the action is stayed pursuant to s.106 of the Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.C.43; see Gao v. Ontario WSIB et al., 2014 ONSC 6100; c. The registrar shall accept no further filings in this action except for the plaintiffs’ 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 plaintiffs and counsel for all of the defendants by email, if the registrar has their email addresses.
[3] I am seized of this matter.
