Following an appeal of a small claims court judgment where the respondent retained 60% of the original award, the parties made written submissions on costs.
The respondent sought $8,873.07 on a partial indemnity basis, while the appellants argued for their own costs due to divided success.
The court rejected the appellants' argument, noting their only success was on quantum, but reduced the respondent's costs to reflect her partial success.
The court awarded the respondent $6,000 in all-inclusive costs.
