Holding

The court finds the plaintiff a vexatious litigant and dismisses the plaintiff's application with costs.

Facts

The plaintiff filed a plaint and an application for urgent consideration, alleging eviction from a plot of land and seeking reinstatement. The defendant opposed settlement and filed a preliminary objection.

Issues

  1. Whether the court has jurisdiction to hear the matter.
  2. Whether the plaintiff has established a cause of action.

Reasoning

The court concludes the plaintiff is a vexatious litigant and that the plaintiff's claim is scattered across various cases, making it difficult to establish a clear cause of action. The court also finds the plaintiff's application and notice of motion to be scandalous and incompetent.

Outcome

The plaintiff's application is dismissed with costs.

Orders

  • The plaintiff's application is dismissed.
  • The plaintiff's notice of motion is struck out with costs.
