What is the test for a plaintiff to plead that there is no evidence that a fraudulent cheque was forged and there was racial profiling?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Prince v. Attorney General of Ontario, 2018 ONSC 750 (CanLII):

I find that as currently pleaded, to a large measure the allegations pleaded by the plaintiff are conclusory statements. These bald assertions alone are not sufficient: see Hamalengwa v. Bentley, 2011 ONSC 4145 (CanLII), [2011] O.J. No. 3477 at paragraphs 10-11. In particular, the plaintiff must plead material facts setting out why the prosecutor had no reasonable and probable cause, and the material facts supporting why an inference of improper purpose or malice on the part of the prosecutor should be drawn. It is not sufficient for the plaintiff to plead that there was no evidence that he had knowledge the cheque was fraudulent, and assert that racial profiling was involved. The plaintiff must plead all of the material facts that support the drawing of an inference of an improper purpose.
