This costs endorsement followed a personal injury action that settled for $75,000 shortly before trial.
The court assessed the plaintiffs' claim for costs and disbursements, addressing several contested issues.
Key determinations included the compensability of adverse costs insurance premiums as a disbursement, the recoverability of disbursements related to a defaulted defendant, and the reasonableness of retaining multiple experts given the complexity and anticipated trial.
The court applied the principle of proportionality to fix the final costs and disbursements.
