The court determined costs following motions in related family and civil actions.
The applicant in the family action sought full recovery costs, alleging bad faith by the respondent in failing to honour settlement minutes.
The court found the respondent's conduct unreasonable but not amounting to bad faith, awarding partial costs.
In the civil action, the plaintiffs sought costs against the respondent's lawyer personally under Rule 57.07.
The court declined to order costs against the lawyer personally, finding it was not one of the clearest cases, but awarded partial indemnity costs against the respondent.
