Charter of Rights – Cruel and unusual treatment or punishment – Judgments and orders –Declaratory judgments – Applicant declared vexatious litigant pursuant to s. 140 of the Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.43 after commencing several actions, motions and appeals – Court order precluding applicant from bringing subsequent proceedings without leave – Applicant proceeding with case on the merits – Whether endorsement was unreasonable and unjust, and amounted to miscarriage of justice – Whether endorsement violated rights under ss. 7 and 12 of the Charter.

In 2004, Mr. Mohammed commenced an action against the respondents, who investigated a fire that destroyed his home in 1997. He had been declared a vexatious litigant in a related matter. Despite being under court order not to commence any legal action without leave of the court, his case went to trial before a jury. The applicant lost his case. He brought several applications, seeking leave to appeal the jury verdict and each time, his motion was dismissed.
