This is a costs endorsement following a trial in a commercial dispute involving unpaid accounts.
The plaintiff was partially successful in its claim, recovering $430,809, while its claim for additional amounts based on oral agreements was dismissed.
The defendants' counterclaim was entirely dismissed.
The court awarded costs to the plaintiff as the successful party, fixing costs at $150,000 in fees and $62,210.53 in disbursements on a partial indemnity basis.
The court rejected arguments for cost shifting based on a Rule 49 settlement offer that was less than the judgment and declined to impose sanctions based on allegations of impropriety made by either party.
