The defendants were successful on a motion requiring the plaintiff to post security for costs in the amount of $130,000.
The defendants subsequently sought costs of that motion on a partial indemnity basis in the amount of $26,530.69.
The court considered the factors under Rule 57.01(1), noting the complexity of the motion and the plaintiff's unsuccessful res judicata argument.
After stepping back to assess what is fair and reasonable, the court fixed the defendants' costs of the motion at $23,000 inclusive.
