The court determined the costs of four motions, including motions to amend the statement of claim and for trial together with a related action.

The court found that the costs of the amendment motions should be in the cause, as they would have been incurred in any event and the defendants did not unreasonably oppose them.

For the motions for trial together, the court ordered each party to bear their own costs, as the relief was mutually beneficial and neither side substantively opposed the other's motion.

The court heard four procedural motions, including motions for trial together, transfer of a Small Claims Court action, and leave to amend pleadings.

The parties reached an agreement on most issues prior to the hearing.

The court ordered that this action and a related action be tried together with common discoveries, and granted the plaintiff leave to amend the statement of claim.

The motion to transfer the Small Claims Court action was adjourned to be heard by a judge, as a Master lacks jurisdiction under section 107 of the Courts of Justice Act.

The decision on a separate motion for trial together by another set of defendants was reserved.
