Following the dismissal of the defendants' motions for confidentiality orders and the plaintiff's cross-motion for a confidentiality order regarding materials for a pending Mareva injunction, the parties made written costs submissions.
The plaintiff sought $15,000, while the defendants argued for no costs due to the novelty of the legal issues.
The court ordered that costs of the motions be fixed at $5,000 in the cause of the Mareva injunction motion, finding this fair given the exigencies of the proceeding.
The court also awarded the defendants $500 each for the costs of their costs submissions, payable by the plaintiff.
