The court determined the costs of a motion regarding the liability of the defendant 430 to various lien claimants in a construction lien reference.
The defendant 430 had settled with one lien claimant who had carriage of the motion, but the court found 430 remained liable for the costs incurred by other lien claimants who contributed to the motion.
The court fixed costs at $93,500 on a partial indemnity basis and apportioned the award among the contributing lien claimants based on their financial and counsel time contributions.
