This was a costs endorsement following dismissal of an application seeking appointment of a sole arbitrator under a 2009 agreement.
The successful party sought $32,896.93, including partial indemnity fees to December 7, 2012 and substantial indemnity thereafter based on an offer to settle.
The court rejected substantial indemnity costs, found some of the successful party's arguments and cross-examination unhelpful or irrelevant, and reduced the requested amount.
Fair and reasonable costs were fixed at $22,000 all-inclusive, payable forthwith.
