This decision concerns the costs of a motion regarding a construction lien.
The Honsbergers sought to discharge or reduce a lien registered by Homes by Hendriks Inc. The court previously reduced the lien but did not vacate it.
The parties could not agree on costs, so submissions were made.
The court awarded the Honsbergers $51,313.32 in costs, finding their offer to settle was reasonable and that their costs were not disproportionate.
The court declined to order costs against the principal of the plaintiff personally.
