This endorsement addresses the issue of costs following a previous decision where the applicant's costs were directed to be payable from the Estate.
The applicant, the Estate Trustee, sought full indemnity costs under the Trustee Act, arguing the litigation was necessary for estate administration.
The respondent opposed, claiming the dispute was personal.
The court found the costs claimed by the applicant to be reasonable and ordered full indemnity costs of $10,814.50 to be paid out of the Estate, affirming the estate trustee's right to indemnification for reasonably incurred legal expenses.
