Webber, J.

April 29, 1998.

Summary:

The plaintiffs sued the defendants for conspiracy. The defendants moved to strike out certain paragraphs of the statement of claim on two grounds: (1) there were no particulars of special damages pleaded, as required under rule 25.06(9) and (2) the conspiracy allegations did not meet the requirements of a proper conspiracy pleading.

The Ontario Court (General Division) accepted both arguments and struck out the paragraphs with leave to amend. The court also ordered the plaintiffs to provide particulars with respect to certain other paragraphs.
