Following a summary judgment for wrongful dismissal, the parties sought costs.
The plaintiff claimed $33,839.99, while the defendant argued its offer to settle triggered Rule 49.10.
The court found the judgment was as favourable as the defendant's final offer to settle, entitling the plaintiff to partial indemnity costs up to the offer date and the defendant to partial indemnity costs thereafter.
As the respective costs amounts were roughly equal, the court ordered the parties to bear their own costs.
