[19] The plaintiff alleges that John maliciously spoke false statements to the plaintiff regarding the plaintiff's legal inclusion in the estate of their mother. There is no such action known to law. Further, the plaintiff fails to identify the alleged false statements. In the event that these statements include the fact that John related to Iain that he was not a beneficiary in the Will, those statements are true, based on a reading of the Will. The plaintiff is not a named beneficiary of the estate. After this lawsuit was commenced, he was provided, as part of the documentary discovery process, with a copy of the Will, which establishes this. Finally, as regards the alleged malicious false statements, the plaintiff has pleaded all allegations with no facts in support. Allegations of malice require that the plaintiff plead the circumstances and full particulars or facts sufficient to enable the trier of fact to properly infer intentional or malicious conduct, which has not been done: Dyce v. Ontario, 2007 CarswellOnt 3437 (Sup. Ct.).
