The appellant appealed an order striking his claim against a Texas lawyer and an Ontario lawyer for conduct related to Texas litigation and subsequent Ontario enforcement proceedings.
The Court of Appeal upheld the motion judge's decision, finding the claims of conspiracy, intentional infliction of harm, and interference with contractual relations were misconceived and disclosed no cause of action.
The court also found no merit in the appellant's argument that the motion judge should have recused himself for reasonable apprehension of bias.
The appeal was dismissed.
