Following the defendant's unsuccessful motion to transfer and consolidate the action, the successful plaintiff sought costs of $7,082.73 on a partial indemnity basis.
The defendant argued costs should be in the cause or parties should bear their own costs.
The court rejected the defendant's arguments, finding the plaintiff entitled to costs payable forthwith.
Applying the factors under Rule 57.01(1) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, the court fixed the plaintiff's costs at $6,000 inclusive.
