The court determined costs following a successful application where oppression and breach of fiduciary duty were found, leading to a corporate wind-up.
The applicant sought substantial indemnity costs, which were awarded due to the seriousness of the misconduct, including breaches of statutory and fiduciary duties, self-dealing, and obstructive litigation conduct by the respondents.
The court also directed that the costs of the litigation be borne solely by the individual respondents, with adjustments made during the corporate winding-up process to prevent the applicant from indirectly bearing the respondents' costs.
A motion to strike brought by the respondents was also dismissed with costs to the applicant.
