Following a procedural motion in a personal injury action involving requests to amend the statement of claim, conduct a premises inspection by an expert, compel document production, and examine two witnesses before trial, the court addressed the issue of costs.
The plaintiff had suffered a head injury on the defendants’ property and had limited memory of the incident, which contributed to disputes over access to factual information.
The court found the motion was conducted efficiently and professionally by counsel.
Applying the usual rule that costs follow the event, the court awarded the successful moving party partial indemnity costs.
