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 91裸聊视频渟uffered physical and emotional injuries91裸聊视频� 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 plaintiff91裸聊视频檚 demands as wide-ranging: 91裸聊视频淚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 91裸聊视频渃leaning up of the swamp,91裸聊视频� the reconstruction of the RCMP, an MRI of his entire body, $32 trillion, and 500,000 Tesla shares,91裸聊视频� 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 case91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频渋rregularly filed documents be struck out,91裸聊视频� and some asked for an order curtailing the plaintiff from making further court filings.
The judge found Chamberlin91裸聊视频檚 approach to seeking relief against parties other than ICBC was wrong and said the plaintiff91裸聊视频檚 claims are not reasonable and are 91裸聊视频渟candalous, vexatious and otherwise an abuse of process.91裸聊视频� 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 judge91裸聊视频檚 expectation is that the plaintiff 91裸聊视频渋s unlikely to succeed in filing more documents91裸聊视频� 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.
