The court determined costs arising from four similar insurance motions brought by separate defendants in related actions.
The plaintiffs sought partial indemnity costs of $36,500.
The court found that a deduction was required because some counsel time related to unargued Charter applications rather than the motions themselves.
Applying the principles from Hunt v. TD Securities Inc., the court declined to award substantial indemnity costs and instead reduced the requested amount by $8,000.
The plaintiffs were awarded $28,500 plus HST, payable equally among the defendants.
