The plaintiff was successful in her wrongful dismissal action and sought costs of $32,509.05, calculated on a partial indemnity basis up to the date of an unaccepted offer to settle, and on a substantial indemnity basis thereafter.
The defendant argued the costs were excessive due to alleged double lawyering and overdone legal service, suggesting an award of $15,451.50.
The court found the plaintiff's costs claim to be fair, reasonable, and within the reasonable expectations of the defendant, awarding the full amount claimed.
