The applicant's application for the return of tools and equipment was dismissed.
The parties were unable to agree on costs, and the respondent sought $8,768.80 on a partial indemnity basis.
The court found the respondent was entirely successful and entitled to costs.
Applying the factors under Rule 57.01 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, the court reduced the requested amount to reflect what an unsuccessful party could reasonably expect to pay, fixing costs at $7,000 payable by the applicant.
