Following an unsuccessful motion by a non-lawyer for leave to represent a corporate defendant, the successful co-defendant sought partial indemnity costs of $6,241.67.
The moving party sought to have these costs payable jointly and severally by the corporation and its non-party controlling minds.
The court found the requested costs excessive and fixed them at $4,000.
The court declined to award costs against the non-parties, finding no gross misconduct or vexatious conduct that would justify such an order.
