The plaintiffs brought a motion to amend their Statement of Claim to add the defendants' counsel and the individual defendant's parents as parties, alleging they received trust funds from the sale of a property.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that adding the defendants' counsel would cause non-compensable prejudice by depriving the defendants of their counsel of choice in complex, intertwined litigation.
The plaintiffs also sought costs for a withdrawn production motion regarding bank records.
The court awarded the plaintiffs $4,000 in partial indemnity costs thrown away, as the defendants had failed to produce the records in the required format until after the motion was brought.
