The parties sought costs following three segments of the discovery process, including motions for undertakings and refusals.
The plaintiff claimed misappropriation by a former employee who started a competing business, while the defendant counterclaimed for wrongful dismissal.
The Master awarded partial indemnity costs to the plaintiff for its successful refusals motion, partial indemnity costs to the defendants for their refusals motion (deferring expert costs to the trial judge), and ordered costs in the cause for both parties regarding a third motion involving aborted discoveries.
