Hourigan, Benotto and Huscroft JJ.A.

BETWEEN

Chuang Ma

Appellant

and

City of Ottawa

Respondent

Chuang Ma, in person

Jeremy Wright, for the respondent

Heard: February 21, 2019

On appeal from the judgment of Justice Robert Beaudoin of
    the Superior Court of Justice, dated September 6, 2018.

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

The appellant appeals from the endorsement of the motion judge
    dismissing his action pursuant to r. 2.1.01.

[2]

We see no basis to interfere with the decision of the motion judge. The
    essence of the appellants claim is that the Ottawa Police Service ought to
    have prevented an unnamed person from putting up posters stating that he was a
    spy. The motion judge correctly concluded that the respondent is not
    responsible at law for the torts of the officers of the Ottawa Police Service.
    The claim does not disclose a cause of action and is frivolous, vexatious and
    an abuse of process. The appeal is dismissed. The appellant shall pay the
    respondents costs of the appeal in the all-inclusive sum of $100.
