The court dismissed both the plaintiff's claim for approximately $14,000 and the defendants' counterclaim for about $100,000.
The plaintiff sought partial indemnity costs of approximately $27,000 for a 3.5-day trial.
The court, exercising its discretion under s. 131(1) of the Courts of Justice Act, ordered Wayne Nicholas Degagne and Degagne Multi-Electric to pay the plaintiff $10,000 plus GST in costs.
The court found the defendants to be the "biggest loser" due to the substantial counterclaim's dismissal, while Lea Macalino Degagne and 2225171 Ontario Corporation were deemed not proper parties for costs.
