Can a pleading deficient result in an action being struck?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wong v. Leung, 2011 ABQB 688 (CanLII):
However, pleading deficiencies will not necessarily result in an action being struck. As this court noted in Chevalier v. Sunshine Village Corporation, 2011 ABQB 544 at para. 18: An action may be struck if no amount of amendment could save the action. A pleading will not be struck if the flaws in it are capable of amendment: Hunt v. T.& N (Carey Can.), 1990 CanLII 90, [1990] 2 S.C.R. 959.
