The defendant, The Walt Disney Company, previously brought a motion to seal excerpted provisions of agreements it intended to rely on in a stay motion.
The plaintiff successfully opposed the motion and brought a cross-motion regarding redactions.
In this endorsement, the plaintiff sought substantial indemnity costs for the motion.
The court awarded the plaintiff partial indemnity costs, finding no improper conduct by the defendant to warrant a higher scale, but affirming the plaintiff's right to costs for successfully defending the open court principle and adding value to the hearing.
