Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Pineau et al v. Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp., 2011 ONSC 5822 (CanLII):
Generally, allegations inserted simply for colour that are not relevant to any of the matters in issue fall into the category of “scandalous” (see George v. Harris, [2000] OJ 1762). It is trite law that irrelevant allegations should be struck. It is also trite law that anything that is relevant cannot be considered scandalous.
