The Statement of Claim was defective because it reproduced the entire letter without identifying the specific words or pleading the defamatory meanings; consequently it did not disclose a prima facie cause of action in defamation and warranted striking out; further, the letter on its face was an expression of opinion by a director/shareholder about a proposed appointment and the Defendant was entitled to express such views, reinforcing that the pleadings were insufficient to sustain the claim.
