REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 15, 2014).
NADON J.A.
[1] Despite Mr. Shrybman’s forcefull submissions, we are of the view, substantially for the reasons given by Madam Justice Tremblay-Lamer in her decision of November 29, 2013, that the appellants’ claims for expropriation and breach of trust, the only claims pursued by the appellants in their appeal, should be struck.
[2] As concerns the cross-appeal, we have not been persuaded that we should interfere with the judge’s conclusion that the mismanagement claims should not be struck.
[3] For these reasons, the appeal and the cross-appeal will be dismissed with costs.
