Nobilis Health Corp. sought costs after successfully defending a class action certification motion and leave application brought by Vince Cappelli.
Nobilis requested $200,000 in partial indemnity fees and $311,696.39 in disbursements, primarily for three expert reports.
Cappelli did not oppose the fees but challenged the disbursements as excessive and duplicative.
The court found the expert evidence necessary and critical, despite some overlap, and deemed the disbursements fair and reasonable given the litigation risk.
Costs were awarded to Nobilis as requested, with the Class Proceedings Fund ultimately responsible for payment.
