Following an appeal from summary judgment decisions in two related actions involving fraudulent investment schemes, the Court of Appeal determined the costs of the motions and the appeals.
The court upheld the costs and Sanderson order in favour of the successful Mauldin group.
However, because the appellant successfully appealed the summary judgment in the Bruno action, the court set aside the costs and Sanderson order in favour of Bruno, reserving the motion costs to the trial judge and making Bruno liable for the co-defendants' costs.
Costs of the appeals were awarded on a partial indemnity scale.
