Following a successful trial where the plaintiff was awarded coverage under two creditor protection insurance policies, mental distress damages, and punitive damages, the court determined the costs of the action.
The court awarded the plaintiff costs on a partial indemnity basis up to the date the defendants' amended counterclaim was ordered to issue, and on a substantial indemnity basis thereafter due to the defendants' reprehensible litigation conduct, unproven allegations of fraud, and failure to accept a reasonable offer to settle.
The plaintiff was awarded $260,000 inclusive of fees, disbursements, and HST.
