The plaintiff, having been entirely successful on a motion, sought partial indemnity costs of $14,338.80.
The defendants argued costs should be in the cause or parties should bear their own costs.
The court rejected the defendants' position, finding the plaintiff was the clear winner.
Applying the principles of reasonableness and proportionality under Rule 57.01, the court reduced the claimed amount and awarded the plaintiff partial indemnity costs fixed at $8,400.00 inclusive of fees, disbursements, and HST, payable forthwith.
