Higher-Edge FZ-LLC v. The Huron University College Corporation, 2026 ONSC 4824

Case Summary

The plaintiff, a student recruitment firm, brought an action against a university and two of its representatives for breach of contract, conspiracy, intentional interference with economic relations, and unjust enrichment after the university did not renew its recruitment contract and instead hired one of the plaintiff's employees. The defendants moved to strike the claim under rules 21.01(1)(b) and 25.11 of the Rules of Civil Procedure. The Superior Court of Justice allowed the motion in part, striking the claim entirely against one individual defendant and striking the conspiracy and intentional interference claims against all defendants due to insufficient pleadings, while allowing the unjust enrichment claim to proceed. The plaintiff was granted leave to amend its pleadings.
