The defendant sought costs following its successful motion for summary judgment which dismissed the plaintiffs' action as statute-barred.
The defendant claimed $37,691.87 in total costs, while the plaintiffs argued for $22,575.67.
The court reduced the defendant's fees due to duplication of work by senior and junior counsel and disallowed certain disbursements, including computer research charges.
Costs were fixed at $32,802.35 on a partial indemnity basis, payable by the plaintiffs within 60 days.
