This costs endorsement follows the granting of summary judgment in favour of the defendants, dismissing the plaintiffs’ claim.
The court addresses the appropriate quantum of costs, considering the parties’ submissions, the principle of proportionality, and the conduct of the litigation.
The court finds the defendants’ costs claim largely reasonable, with a minor reduction for a docketing error, and orders the plaintiffs to pay $43,500 in costs on a partial indemnity basis.
