Costs fixed at $25,000 after successful summary judgment cross-motion.
This was a costs decision following dismissal of the plaintiff's summary judgment motion and the granting of the defendants' cross-motion for summary judgment dismissing the action against them.
The successful defendants sought $29,905.98 in costs on a partial indemnity basis.
The self-represented plaintiff argued the claim was excessive and that the matter had been over-lawyered, submitting that only provable disbursements should be awarded.
The court agreed that costs should reflect a fair and reasonable amount rather than a precise hourly calculation and fixed costs at $25,000 all inclusive.
