  • Facts: Ajvazi's claims arose from disputes concerning his ownership of a condominium unit, #218-6560 Buswell Street, Richmond, BC. He argued that despite owing money to the strata, they refused his request to access $15,000 he had on deposit for special levies to pay the amounts due. Ajvazi contended this refusal breached his rights as a strata owner and his human rights, leading to him and his family becoming homeless.
  • Issue: The court needed to decide whether the notice of civil claim filed by Ajvazi should be struck out according to Rule 9-5(1) of the Supreme Court Civil Rules for failing to disclose a reasonable cause of action, being confusing, and potentially brought for an improper purpose.

  • Court's Ruling: The court ruled to strike the notice of civil claim without leave to amend, finding Ajvazi's pleadings did not meet the necessary legal standards. The claim was deemed to lack concise statements of material facts, a clear legal basis for the relief sought, and was considered speculative and based on assumptions. It was emphasized that a lawyer owes a duty only to their client, and allegations against the opposing party's counsel do not constitute actionable breaches of private duty.

  • Costs or Damages Awarded: The court ordered Jasar Ajvazi to pay lump sum special costs as follows:
    • $3,000 to the Law Corporation, and
    • $3,000 to the City of Richmond.
