This endorsement addresses the issue of costs following a previous decision.
The successful Plaintiff sought costs of $43,566.14, including disbursements for an expert report on Dutch law.
The Defendant challenged the quantum, arguing the issue was comparatively narrow and suggesting half the amount.
The court, applying principles of proportionality, found the claimed amount excessive and fixed the Plaintiff's costs at $30,000, inclusive of disbursements and taxes, payable within 30 days.
