Following the dismissal of the Estate Trustee's motion to strike a Notice of Objection to Accounts, and the subsequent dismissal of his appeal, the responding beneficiary sought costs on a full indemnity basis.
The court found that the Estate Trustee acted unreasonably and in his own self-interest, justifying an elevated costs award.
The court ordered the Estate Trustee to personally pay the responding party's costs on a full indemnity basis in the amount of $47,963.67.
