COSTS ENDORSEMENT

[1] The appellant was partly successful on the appeal, and in our view, is entitled to costs. In the light of his partial success we think that a fair award for the costs of the appeal is $25,000, inclusive of disbursements and applicable taxes. This amount consists of fees and GST of $10,000 and disbursements and HST of $15,000.

[2] The costs of the trial are reserved to the trial judge hearing the new trial.
