The defendants brought a motion to strike the plaintiffs' claims under Rule 21, which was largely dismissed, with the plaintiffs achieving substantial success.
The plaintiffs sought costs of $6,928.39 on a partial indemnity scale.
The court found the requested amount modest given the complexity and importance of the motion.
However, because the plaintiffs were not entirely successful, the court discounted the requested amount by $1,000 to reflect the partial success.
The defendants were ordered to pay costs of $5,900 inclusive of disbursements and HST.
