The plaintiff brought a motion to fix costs from previous motions after the trial judge retired, to vary a previous judgment to make funds payable directly to her, and to recover collection costs and costs thrown away.
The defendant brought a cross-motion to terminate a garnishment, arguing the previous judgment was fully satisfied.
The court found the previous judgment was not fully satisfied and dismissed the defendant's motion.
The court granted the plaintiff's motion, finding that no limitation period applies to enforcing court orders for costs, and that Rule 59.06 and the court's inherent jurisdiction allowed it to fix the costs of the previous motions.
The defendant was ordered to pay $117,067.49.
