The Supreme Court of British Columbia has struck down a lawsuit against current and former University Canada West staff members that was launched by a student. The student alleged that instructors engaged in plagiarism of third parties’ work that amounted to breach of contract and violation of the university’s academic integrity policies, among other harms. BC Supreme Court Judge Anita Chan stated that “it is plain and obvious that the plaintiff’s [notice of civil claim] does not disclose any reasonable causes of action, and a further amendment will not cure the defects.” As a result of the dismissal, the UCW defendants were entitled to their defense costs from the student.
