The plaintiff successfully obtained an interim injunction against the defendants during a labour strike that was causing significant delays to the plaintiff's operations.
The only remaining issue was the quantum of costs.
The plaintiff sought over $205,000, including significant disbursements for private investigators, while the defendants suggested $15,000.
The court found the plaintiff's claimed costs excessive and punitive, noting the legal and factual issues were straightforward.
The court awarded the plaintiff a total of $37,083.80, which included a significantly reduced allowance for the investigator disbursements and legal fees.
