The respondent/defendant brought a cross-appeal regarding costs following a wrongful dismissal action under the Simplified Procedure Rule where the plaintiff sought $25,000.
The defendant had made a Rule 49 offer of one month's salary which the plaintiff did not accept.
The Divisional Court allowed the cross-appeal, finding no reason to deny the successful party its costs.
The court fixed costs for the trial, appeal, and cross-appeal at $10,000 all-inclusive, payable by the appellant/plaintiff to the respondent/defendant.
