On appeal from the judgment of Justice James M. Spence of the Superior Court of Justice, dated February 12, 2015.

COSTS ENDORSEMENT

[1] By endorsement dated September 17, 2015, this court dismissed Mr. Lochner’s appeal and indicated that if the respondents sought costs, they were to file written submissions within 10 days of the date of release of the endorsement. The endorsement further provided that Mr. Lochner was to file any response no later than 15 days after the date of release of the endorsement.

[2] We have now received the respondents’ written submissions. We have received nothing in writing from Mr. Lochner.

[3] As the respondents were fully successful on the appeal, we are satisfied that costs should follow the event, on a partial indemnity basis.

[4] Accordingly, costs of the appeal fixed in the sum of $5,000, all inclusive, are ordered in favour of the respondents.
