The plaintiff's former solicitors brought a motion to be removed from the record after the solicitor-client relationship broke down.
Before the motion was sworn, new counsel undertook to place herself on the record, rendering the motion moot.
Despite this, the former solicitors proceeded with the motion and sought $5,000 in costs.
The court dismissed the costs claim, finding the motion was unnecessary, foreseeably moot, and vastly disproportionate to the issues and amounts in question.
