The plaintiff's motion for an interlocutory injunction to restrain the defendants from soliciting clients and employees was previously dismissed.
The defendants sought costs of $15,082.12 on a partial indemnity basis.
The plaintiff argued costs should be in the cause or fixed at a lower amount, and that the defendants unnecessarily complicated the motion.
The court rejected the plaintiff's arguments, noting the presumption that costs of a motion are payable forthwith, especially for interlocutory injunctions.
The court found the defendants' requested costs reasonable, particularly given the plaintiff's own costs outline was significantly higher.
The plaintiff was ordered to pay costs of $15,082.12 forthwith.
