Ms. Alghmadi refused to vacate a rented property and a dispute with the homeowners led to a physical altercation. Ms. Alghmadi commenced three separate actions against multiple parties including the homeowners, police officers and government agencies. The litigation led to a multiplicity of motions and related proceedings. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted a motion declaring Ms. Alghmadi to be a vexatious litigant and restricted continuance of any proceedings against several defendants without leave. The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal.
