Following the dismissal of the plaintiff's action against the Toronto Police Services Board and an individual officer, the defendants sought costs.
The defendants requested a significantly reduced amount of $25,000 on a partial indemnity basis, down from their actual partial indemnity costs of over $207,000, to account for the self-represented plaintiff's financial circumstances.
The plaintiff did not provide costs submissions.
The court found the requested amount reasonable and ordered the plaintiff to pay $25,000 in costs.
