The Court dismissed the plaintiff's motions seeking recognition of legal capacity in stayed medical negligence proceedings, finding no new evidence to displace a prior incapacity finding by Weinstein J. The Court independently found the plaintiff lacked legal capacity in separately commenced 2026 proceedings and summarily dismissed those proceedings under UCPR r 13.4(1)(a), (b) and (c) as vexatious, disclosing no reasonable cause of action, and an abuse of process, where the statement of claim comprised baseless allegations of fraud and conspiracy against the defendants' solicitors arising from ordinary defence of medical negligence claims. The Court declined to make a broad vexatious litigant-style order preventing the plaintiff from commencing any proceedings without leave, holding that such an order would be draconian where the plaintiff's legal capacity may change and may differ depending on the subject matter of future proceedings.
