The parties sought costs following an interim injunction motion where success was divided.
The applicants claimed substantial indemnity costs of $12,695.50, alleging the respondents engaged in reprehensible conduct by disposing of farm animals.
The respondents claimed partial indemnity costs of $12,452.86, arguing they were largely successful.
The court declined to consider the allegations of missing livestock for the purpose of costs, noting such claims should be addressed through a claim for damages.
Finding that success on the motion was divided relatively equally, the court ordered each party to bear their own costs.
