The court fixed the "costs thrown away" for the plaintiffs in the sum of $30,000, inclusive of disbursements and H.S.T., payable by the defendants jointly and severally.
These costs were incurred by the plaintiffs due to the defendants' prolonged denial of successor corporation status, which necessitated the plaintiffs' efforts to establish CSL's responsibility for CPSL's liabilities.
The court had previously granted the defendants' motion to set aside pleadings against CPSL on the condition that the plaintiffs be paid these costs.
