Following the successful motions by the defendants to strike the plaintiff's claim, the court determined the quantum of costs to be awarded.

The court found that the plaintiff's claim had no chance of success and that he should pay costs on a partial indemnity scale.

The court awarded costs of $11,884.36 to the Transit Commission, $6,736.81 to Commissionaires Hamilton, and $3,333.09 to the Police Services Board.

The self-represented plaintiff sued the transit commission, a security company, and the police board after he was issued a trespass notice for using offensive language at a bus terminal and subsequently removed by police when he refused to leave.

The defendants brought motions to dismiss the action.

The court found that the plaintiff's pleadings, which included allegations of assault and defamation, did not disclose any genuine issue requiring a trial.

The claims were dismissed without leave to amend.
