Costs of successful appeal reduced due to unsuccessful grounds and proportionality with underlying motion costs.
Following a successful appeal setting aside a Master's order that amended pleadings and added a defendant, the successful appellants sought costs.
The court found the amounts sought excessive because the appellants were unsuccessful on several grounds of appeal and the costs of the underlying motion were fixed at $5,000.
The court awarded the TRG defendants $13,000 and the added defendant $12,000, inclusive of the underlying motion costs.
