The Plaintiff sought costs at an interlocutory stage against the Defendant Thi Thu Lee (Le) following successful motions, including a Mareva injunction, reconveyance of properties, and payment of funds into court.
The Defendant argued costs should be deferred until the main issue of the Plaintiff's capacity was decided and that the amounts sought were excessive.
The court found the Plaintiff largely successful and entitled to costs on a partial indemnity basis, fixing them at $43,071.37.
However, the question of which defendant(s) should bear these costs was deferred for further submissions.
