A Nanaimo man who tried to sue for $32 trillion after being struck by a car while riding his bicycle got his day in court before his case was thrown out.
Tyler Chamberlin filed a lawsuit against ICBC in 2020, according to court documents, alleging that he 香蕉视频直播渟uffered physical and emotional injuries香蕉视频直播� in a 2018 hit-and-run. Since then, he amended his claim, adding as defendants the Queen, the prime minister, the premier, the Supreme Court of B.C., Elections B.C., Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and several other parties.
Judge Douglas Thompson described the plaintiff香蕉视频直播檚 demands as wide-ranging: 香蕉视频直播淚t includes a private audience with Her Majesty, the suspension of trade with China, the dismantling of Transport Canada, the postponement of an election, the release of classified documents, the 香蕉视频直播渃leaning up of the swamp,香蕉视频直播� the reconstruction of the RCMP, an MRI of his entire body, $32 trillion, and 500,000 Tesla shares,香蕉视频直播� the judge noted.
The hearing March 1 in B.C. Supreme Court in Nanaimo necessitated lawyers for seven defendants to appear via teleconference. Most applied to have the case香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播渋rregularly filed documents be struck out,香蕉视频直播� and some asked for an order curtailing the plaintiff from making further court filings.
The judge found Chamberlin香蕉视频直播檚 approach to seeking relief against parties other than ICBC was wrong and said the plaintiff香蕉视频直播檚 claims are not reasonable and are 香蕉视频直播渟candalous, vexatious and otherwise an abuse of process.香蕉视频直播� However, the judge suggested there is no need for a vexatious litigant order because there have been recent changes to court document filing standards and the judge香蕉视频直播檚 expectation is that the plaintiff 香蕉视频直播渋s unlikely to succeed in filing more documents香蕉视频直播� that conform with the rules.
Only one of the defendants sought reimbursement for legal costs and the judge said he would not make a costs order unless the applicant chooses to press the issue.
